Issue securityLevel does not update on JIRA

Originally asked by Benjamin Frei on 12 September 2019 (original question)


We added the following two lines to the incoming synch on our JIRA instance. Please see: https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+synchronize+issue+securityLevel

import com.exalate.basic.domain.hubobject.v1.BasicHubIssueSecurityLevel
issue.securityLevel = new BasicHubIssueSecurityLevel(null, "name", "description")

However, the security level field doesn’t update. The synch-user has permissions to all security levels. There is no error logged.

Hi Benjamin Frei

I had to do some digging - but found out that you have to ensure that the proxy user has the ‘Set Issue Security’ permission

If you set it, it works.

Benjamin Frei :

Please make sure you have “Security Level” field added to your Create/Edit/Default screen… that is a requirement otherwise setting the Security level will not work.
