Use scripted field in notification scheme

[Stefan Niedermann]

I habe a scripted field that returns a user. I configured the search template to userpicker.

Why can't i see this field in notification scheme if i try to choose a user-customfield?

[Stefan Niedermann]

My current workaround is:

1. Create a second normal user field. (has the ID "14521" in my example).
2. Do not only return the value of the scripted field but copy the result to the other custom field

// Import needed classes

// calculate needed user

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager();

def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance();

def customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager();

def targetField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_14521");

targetField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(targetField), userManager.getUserByName("calculated-user-name"));

return "calculated-user-name";

It's not really a good idea to update the issue from a script field.

You can watch/vote https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/browse/GRV-430, it's more or less the same issue.

It's not really a good idea to update the issue from a script field.

Why? What could be problems with this solution?

I'm not sure if i can wait for implementing GRV-430 (only one vote :D ) or do you have a priority-list or a approximately date when this could be implmented?

Custom Field Types have to implement the interface UserCFNotificationTypeAware in order for them to be selectable as a User Custom Field Value in a NotificationScheme. That may not be possible with a scripted field.

Are there any known workarounds? I need to send E-Mails on some events to the users of the scripted field.

[Andreas Ebert]

Well, the only workaround I can think of is implementing your own post-function which manually sends the mails to the users in that scripted field.
