Goal

Code Snippet

Set a custom field value

Code Block
cfObj = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10114');


issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfObj, "a new value");

Making decisions based on Customer Request Type

Code Block
var custRequestType = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10203');
var issueVal = issue.getCustomFieldValue(custRequestType);
if (issueVal!==null && issueVal.toString().toLowerCase().equals("itsm/getithelp") ) {
print("requestTypeVal: "+issueVal);
cfObj = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10114');
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cfObj, "ITSM CRT set");
}

Append “[UPDATED]” and the current date to an issue summary. Then set the priority of the issue to the highest.

Code Block
print('issue: '+issue.getKey());
print('issueSummary: '+issue.getSummary());
var updatedSummary=issue.getSummary()+" [UPDATED] "+new Date().toString();
print('updating issue to: '+updatedSummary);
issue.setSummary(updatedSummary);
issue.setPriorityId(1);

Add all the pinned comments of an issue to the issues description.

Code Block
adminUser = userManager.getUserByName("admin");
if (adminUser !== null) {
    pinnedComments = commentManager.getPinnedComments(issue, adminUser);
    var description = "";
    for (i = 0; i < pinnedComments.length; i++) {
        description = description + pinnedComments[i].getComment().getBody() + "\n";
    }
    issue.setDescription(description);
}

Set an assignee of an issue, if the user “user1” exists. When the user doesn’t exist, sets the assignee of the issue as admin.

Code Block
user = userManager.getUserByName("user1");
if (user !== null) {
    issue.setAssignee(user);
} else {
    adminUser = userManager.getUserByName("admin");
    issue.setAssignee(adminUser);
}

Gather a value from a Text Custom Field and then add this value as a Comment on the issue using the Reporter user.

Code Block
var fieldObject = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("placeHolder");
if (fieldObject !== null)
{
    var fieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(fieldObject);
    if (fieldValue !== null)
    {
        commentManager.create(issue, issue.getReporter(), fieldValue, true);        
    }
}
