Hello Praveesh,

Which system field are you trying to sync, and what custom field type would you be using? Also, could you mention which issue trackers are you using?

Regards,

Javier Pozuelo

Hello Javier Pozuelo,

thanks for the reply.

I’m trying to sync the default “Components” system field in Atlassian Jira cloud (Source) to custom filed type “Select List (multiple choice)” in another Jira cloud (Destination). We can change destination custom field type as it’s just to hold data coming from source, means one way sync only.

Regards,

Praveesh

Hello Praveesh,

Make sure you create components in your Jira cloud (Source) with the same names as the custom field select list values in your Jira Cloud (Destination).

Place the following in your Outgoing Sync in Jira Cloud (Source)

replica.components = issue.components

Incoming Sync in Jira Cloud (Destination)

def currentComponentNames = (issue.customFields."Components".value ?: []).collect { it.value }
def newComponentNames = replica.components.findAll { component -> component.name }
// Add new components to customField if they don't already exist
currentComponentNames.addAll(newComponentNames.findAll { it -> !currentComponentNames.contains(it) })
// Remove components from customField if they are not in replica.components
currentComponentNames.removeAll { it -> !newComponentNames.contains(it) }
// Clear customField if replica.components is empty
if (replica.components.isEmpty()) {
    issue.customFields."Components".value = null
} else {
    issue.customFields."Components".value = currentComponentNames
}

Kind regards,
