Setting watchers if checkbox is yes

[Itamar Ben-Sinai]

Hi, I have a checkbox with one option (yes) that if checked, I need to add users to CF watchers, on Create. How can I do it with your plugin? Thanks

[Fidel Castro Armario]

The users you need to add are those in a project role, group, custom field, or are some specific users (always the same users)?

[Itamar Ben-Sinai]

I'll create a role for that

[Fidel Castro Armario]

Add "Copy a parsed text to a field" post-function to "Create Issue" transition (after "Creates the issue originally" post-function) with the following configuration:

• Target field: New watchers
• Parsing mode: basic
• Text to be parsed: name_of_project_role
• Conditional execution: %{nnnnn} = "Yes"

replacing nnnnn with the field code of the Checkbox custom field.

Will try, Thanks!!

Hi, Inserting the watchers does not work Jira version 6.3.5 Toolbox version 2.2.13

I see the following error in lig: 2016-07-10 02:32:39,401 http-bio-8080-exec-3 ERROR admin 152x2348x1 1p3zr2f 127.0.0.1 /secure/QuickCreateIssue.jspa [plugins.workflowToolbox.shared.ReflectionHelper] *** Object o: com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultIssueManager@1b0f45a3; Method method: public abstract com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager.updateIssue(com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User,com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue,com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption,boolean); Object... arguments: [Ljava.lang.Object;@4b8eba7f

Please advise Thanks

Can you please attach a screenshot of post-function's tab of your "Create Issue" transition? I want to see all the post-functions being executed and the execution order.

[Itamar Ben-Sinai]

I tried several scenarios with role as the text, with users as the text, before and after issue created in post-functions

[Fidel Castro Armario]

In your screenshot I can see that you are using in parameter Target field a field called "Add watchers". That field has not relation with JIRA Workflow Toolbox.

You should use a virtual field created by JIRA Workflow Toolbox which is called "New watchers".

You should insert "Copy a parsed text to a field" AFTER post-function "Creates the issue originally".
