This example gets all users existing in certain groups (in this case, "jira-users") and adds the usernames that match the search as options to the custom fields using this data source.
function getUsers(string [] groups){
string [] users;
for(string group in groups){
string [] currentGrp;
currentGrp = addElement(currentGrp, group);
for(string user in usersInGroups(currentGrp)){
users = addElementIfNotExist(users, usernameToUserKey(user));
}
}
return users;
}
string [] groups = {"jira-users"};
string [] users = getUsers(groups);
string [] res;
for (string user in users) {
if (contains(user, argv["query"])) {
res = addElementIfNotExist(res, user);
}
}
return res;
