How to Sync Label Custom Fields in Jira On-premise

This article shows how to synchronize a label custom field.

Let's assume you want to synchronize a label custom field named label - cust1.

Source Side

Outgoing sync

replica.customFields."label - cust1" = issue.customFields."label - cust1"

Destination Side

Incoming sync 

• Set the received label to the local label custom field and if it doesn't find one, it sets an empty array so you don't get a null pointer exception.

issue.customFields."label - cust1".value = replica.customFields."label - cust1"?.value ?: []

• Add the received label into the local label custom field

issue.customFields."Labels".value += replica.customFields."label - cust1"?.value

How to Set a Default Value in a Label Custom Field?

To set a default value in a label custom field use the nodeHelper.getLabel method.

issue.customFields."Epic/Theme".value = replica.customFields."Tags"?.value ?: [
                nodeHelper.getLabel("")
]
