def originalString = issue.get("customfield_152").name.toString() def cleanedString = originalString.replaceAll("\\[","").replaceAll("\\]", "") ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getUserNamesInGroup(cleanedString).join(",")

This code is part of a script written for an Atlassian Jira instance, likely using Jira ScriptRunner or a similar tool. Here's a breakdown of what this code does, step-by-step:

  1. def originalString = issue.get("customfield_152").name.toString():

    • Fetches the value of a custom field (with the ID customfield_152) from a Jira issue.
    • It assumes that customfield_152 is some sort of object (likely related to a group), and accesses its name property.
    • The resulting name value is converted to a string and stored in the variable originalString.
  2. def cleanedString = originalString.replaceAll("\\[","").replaceAll("\\]", ""):

    • Removes all square brackets ([ ]) from the string originalString by using regular expressions.
    • The cleaned string is stored in cleanedString.
  3. ComponentAccessor.groupManager.getUserNamesInGroup(cleanedString):

    • Retrieves all usernames that belong to the group whose name matches cleanedString.
    • This uses Jira's groupManager to fetch the group and extract its members' usernames.
  4. .join(","):

    • Joins the list of usernames (retrieved in step 3) into a single string, with each username separated by a comma (,).

In summary:

This code:

  • Retrieves the value of a custom field (customfield_152) associated with a Jira issue.
  • Cleans the string to remove square brackets.
  • Interprets the cleaned string as the name of a user group.
  • Fetches all usernames in that group.
  • Joins those usernames into a comma-separated string.

This resulting comma-separated list of usernames could be used for further processing or display.
