HowTo: change Group Picker (multiple groups) with scriptrunner / post-function

[Ewald_Ninaus]

 want to set a "Group Picker (multiple groups)" with a post-function. Maybe you can give me a hint...

If a "customer" makes a new Task, the Group Picker "Security Level Group" should be automatically filled with the existing Group "customer".

the following if/else works, and I can set the Description depending on customer yes/no, but i have no Chance to set the customer-group into my userSecGrp.

I also did not find anything in the Internet that could help me.

def userSecGrp = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Security Level Group")

def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()

 if (groupManager.isUserInGroup(issue.reporter?.name, 'customer') )

{

 issue.setDescription("A generated description for extern customer")

def group = groupManager.getGroup("customer")

def groupObj = groupManager.getGroupObject('customer')

// issue.setCustomFieldValue(userSecGrp, group)

//issue.setCustomFieldValue(userSecGrp, group)

//issue.setCustomFieldValue(userSecGrp, groupManager.getGroupObject('customer'))

//issue.setCustomFieldValue(userSecGrp, userUtil.getUserByName("xy")) } 

else

{

 system fields issue.setDescription("A generated description for non-customer")

 } 

If i activate one of the setCustomFieldValue, I only get the message that something is not compatible to my jira Version.

So the question is: How to setCustomFieldValue for a Group Picker to a Group? or GroupObject...

The following code works for me to set the value of single and multigroup custom fields:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def groupManager = ComponentAccessor.getGroupManager()

def multiGroupCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("multigrouppicker")
def singleGroupCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("GroupPicker")

def group = groupManager.getGroup("jira-developers")

issue.setCustomFieldValue(multiGroupCf, [group])
issue.setCustomFieldValue(singleGroupCf, [group])

You get the error you're receiving when passing a single group, rather than a collection.

Hi,

I try to set an MultiGroupPicker custom field with multiple groups. The setting with 'setCustomFieldValue' works fine.

...
List<Group> accessGroups = (List<Group>) mutableIssue.getCustomFieldValue(multiGroupCf);
if(accessGroups != null)
{
  accessGroups.add(groupManager.getGroupObject(it));
  //set custom field
  mutableIssue.setCustomFieldValue(multiGroupCf, [accessGroups]);
}
...

But if I update the issue with

    ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(currentUser, mutableIssue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);

I get the following error

...
java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.Group
...

Maybe you ca help me with this.
