getCustomFieldType returns null

[Bhushan Nagaraj]

CustomFieldType selectType = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldType("com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:select");

CustomFieldSearcher selectSearcher = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldSearcher("com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:selectsearcher");

The above returns null. What am I missing? JIRA 6.0

Using it in a listener in the afterPropertiesSet() method

There is no CustomFieldSearcher with key "selectsearcher". You probably mean the Searcher with key "multiselectsearcher", which is valid for the CustomFieldTypes "multiselect", "select", "radiobuttons", and "multicheckboxes".

See the file system-customfieldtypes-plugin.xml as reference.

Hey Andreas,

What about custom field type itself?

CustomFieldType selectType = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldType("com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.customfieldtypes:select");

Any idea why that is returning null?
