Need a script (groovy) to change issue's priority

[e]

Hello! I need a script on groovy which will set the issue's priority to Critical. I am going to add the script as a post-function. Help me, please.

This is my attempt:

MutableIssue myIssue = issue

myIssue.setPriorityId("Blocker")

is does not work :-(

[Mizan]

ID will be a number not a string . Try

myIssue.setPriorityId(1)

[JamieA]

This is wrong, it is a string, it should be "1"

Sorry for the downvote but I wanted a more correct answer to be top!

You have to read the cf value from the existing issue object. So instead of val = pr.getValue(issue) you should use issue.getCustomFieldValue(pr).getValue() to get the String of the selected option.

Thank a lot. This one worked! Thank you so much.

Hi. Could you post the entire script you got working (if you still have it). I'm trying more or less the same but have som issues geting it right

[Henning Tietgens]

Additionally to Mizans answer be aware that you put your postfunction before the "Create the issue originally" post function to have an effect.

[e]

Thanks! Now I have changed the code to what Mizan suggested and

1) I get if I run the code as a validator "An unknown exception occured executing Validator com.onresolve.jira.groovy.GroovyValidator@6a62521f: root cause: java.lang.NullPointerException"

2) My issue's priority does not change if I run it as a post-function (before "Create Issue originally").

By the way - can I place this script as a validator for 'Resolve' transition just for debugging purposes?

[Henning Tietgens]

I don't think so. Maybe the issue object within the validator is not a mutable issue and therefor you get the NPE. A validator is only to check, not to modify the issue.

Is the suggested ID from Mizan (1) a valid ID? Try to edit a priority as admin to see the ID of the priority in the link.

So, what I've just figured out is that 'Trivial' == 5. So, I create an issue, set it's priority as 'Blocker' on the screen, then I

I tried to use my post-function with code:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;

MutableIssue myIssue = issue

myIssue.setPriorityId(5)

but in vain! What I expected was that Blocker turns into Trivial.

[Henning Tietgens]

You have to submit a String of the ID.

myIssue.setPriorityId("5")

[e]

That's it! Thanks a lot!

Can I take a value from a custom field in my post-function, and by looking at it - decide issue's priority?

I guess the custom field that determines the priority of the issue is not available at the stage of post-function.

[Henning Tietgens]

Try

cfValues['name of customfield']

to get the customfield value. If it's a cf with predefined options (single select) you have to use

cfValues['name of customfield'].getValue()

to get the string value.

[e]

I'm afraid I am using a separate script, like /data/groovy/script.groovy, I supposed cfValues[] - is not available here.

It's a CF with predifined options.

When I use the script as validator, I successfully can get values like this:

CustomFieldManager prod_manager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager();

CustomField pr = prod_manager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_14538')

def val = pr.getValue(issue)

When I use the script as a post-function, I can't get values, nor can I throw an exception: invalidInputException = new InvalidInputException("exception text")
