Dear Exalate Support,

I want to sync the user in a user picker custom field to the reporter field in another Jira project. So the use case looks like:

  • I set the user picker customfield in issue of project A
  • sync process will triggered and set the reporter project B with the user of the user picker field in issue of project A

this should work the other way around as well:

  • setting the user picker field in issue of project B
  • sync should set the reporter with the value of user picker field of project B in issue of project A

I am using the the scripted connection. Can you tell me how the outgoing and incoming configuration for my use case should looks like?

Thanks for support!

Regards

Bernd

Hi there,

The following example applies for Group Picker(single group) synchronization.

Outgoing sync:

if (issue.customFields."Remote Reporter"?.value instanceof Iterable) {
    issue.customFields."Remote Reporter".value = issue.customFields."Remote Reporte".value.find()
}
replica.customFields."Remote Reporter" = issue.customFields."Remote Reporter"

Incoming sync:

def remoteReporter = replica.customFields."Remote Reporter"?.value?.name?.asString
issue.reporter = nodeHelper.getUserByEmail(remoteReporter)

Let me know if that helps,

Kind regards,

Ariel
