How to set a custom field to an option using Groovy Scriptrunner

[hutching]

We have a custom field ("followUp") that has one value "Yes". This shows as a toggle button when we want to create an issue. However, when we transition it to a certain state we always want to set this "followUp" to "Yes".  So far we have this much code:

CustomFieldManager fieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
CustomField followUpField = fieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Follow-up")
def followUp = issue.getCustomFieldValue(followUpField) 
//Now how do we set it to the value to "Yes" ?

Thanks for any hints.

I would guess that in this example the "follow up" field is a single checkbox, in which case you want to set it to a Collection<Option>

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager

def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(OptionsManager)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Checkboxes") // Checkboxes is the NAME of my custom field
def fieldConfig = cf.getRelevantConfig(issue)
def option = optionsManager.getOptions(fieldConfig).getOptionForValue("Yes", null)
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, [option]) // <1>

This will work if this code runs before the system function to save the issue to the database.

Note that the Checkboxes is a multivalue field which is why the option variable  is passed as an array

Yes, I copied and pasted from the docs code, more explanation here: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/recipes/workflow/postfunctions/set-issue-attributes.html#_setting_checkbox_fields

Hi Greg, 

Can you try the following code (I assume you store your "Yes" values as 1, you will have to also import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue)

  

def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();
followUpField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(followUp, 1 as Integer),changeHolder);
