2.1 Video: Groovy Basics for ScriptRunner Data Center/Server

The script in the video above can be simplified with HAPI. For example, using HAPI, the script to return the value of a custom field in an issue is as follows:

groovy
def issue = Issues.getByKey('GAV-15')

issue.getCustomFieldValue('Reason for QA Fail')

def value = issue.getCustomFieldValue('Reason for QA Fail')

if (value) {
	return value
}

else {
	return "There is no value in this field on the chosen issue"
}

See the HAPI documentation for more information on reading custom fields.
