Problem
The Set Issue Field(s) post-function does not correctly set its configured field(s) when using the following:
The “Set Issue Field(s)” post function on the
Createtransition andA condition that includes values from a custom field provided by "User Profiles for Jira” (Atlassian Marketplace link: User Profiles for Jira (Microsoft Attributes Sync) | Atlassian Marketplace).
Solution
Replicate the configuration considering the custom field being used and settings as follows:
CUSTOM_user_profile_jira field (provided by User Profiles for Jira app) | Text Field (read-only) |
CUSTOM_select_list_single | Select List (single choice) |
When assessing the "User Profiles for Jira" custom fields functionality, we noticed that this third-party app takes some time to populate the field's value.
Configure the JMWE Set issue field(s) post-function, as shown below:
The intended post-function assigns the value "Example" to the custom field (e.g. CUSTOM_select_list_single) depending on the value from the User Profiles for Jira custom field.
The Conditional execution field of the post function uses the following code:
{{ ["Pablo Vergara", "Other User"].includes(issue.fields["CUSTOM_user_profile_jira"]) }}Remember what’s shown below is an example, and you would need to use and replace your own custom field name (or id) in the following format: {{ ["Value"].includes(issue.fields["<CUSTOM_field_name>"]) }}
As the third-party app does take a while to populate the custom field, it is necessary to include a delay as part of the post-function configuration (in the example, we have set a 15-sec delay for testing purposes):
IMPORTANT:
Use the minimum working delay duration possible and test thoroughly. If the result is unexpected, increase it by one second and test again until the post-function properly sets the field value.
The results observed are that the desired custom field value correctly changes to “Example”:
