Examples

The output of this snippet is a subset of the existing values of a multi-valued field which you could use in a Groovy expression, to

• Set a multi-valued field to a subset of the existing values in one of the Set field value post-functions and the Create issue post-function under Set fields of new issue section. Example: Set a Multi-user picker type field to the users in the Watchers field excluding the Reporter of the issue:

  Code Block
  language js linenumbers true
  def newValues = issue.get("watches").findAll{ it.getName() != issue.get("reporter").getName() } return newValues

  
  

• Send an email to all the users of the Request Participants when a meeting schedule has been changed, except to the current user in the Email issue post-function

  Code Block
  language js linenumbers true
  def newValues = issue.get("Request Participants").findAll{ it.getName() != currentUser.getName() } return newValues
