Create a clone issue when a new issue was created

[Qi Jiang]

@Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]

I did run script below, but looks like no clone issue was created.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.utils.ConditionUtils
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.workflow.postfunctions.CloneIssue

def issue = issue as MutableIssue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(CustomFieldManager)
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("SelectListA")
def cfValue = customField.getValue(issue)

def targetProjectKeyA = "JRA"
def blocksId = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager).getIssueLinkTypes().findByName("Blocks")?.id

def inputs = [
    issue                                   : issue,
    (CloneIssue.FIELD_LINK_TYPE)            : blocksId,
    (ConditionUtils.FIELD_ADDITIONAL_SCRIPT): """issue.setSummary('my summary')""",
    (CloneIssue.FIELD_SELECTED_FIELDS)      : null, //clone all the fields    
    (CloneIssue.SKIP_EPIC_LINKS)            : "true",
    (CloneIssue.FIELD_USER_KEY)             : "admin",

] as Map<String, Object>

log.debug "Value of custom field is ${cfValue}"

if (cfValue?.toString() == "AAA") {
    inputs.put((CloneIssue.FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT), targetProjectKeyA)
    new CloneIssue().doScript(inputs)
}

Hey Q, 

Did you change the names to match your's ? 

Also this should be a post function in the create issue transition, after the Issue Created step. 

One last thing, did you check your logs for any errors ?

@Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]

Yes it works. Thanks, Will this contain clone and link operation?And , I would like to change from block to 'is caused by' what is the keyword I should use?

[Qi Jiang]

Yes it works. Thanks

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

Glad to hear that Q, could you please accept the answer so others may benefit from it ?

@Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]

Could you share with me other issue link type keywords?

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

Hey Q,

You can navigate to the Issue Types section in your jira, or you can use the following script in your script console and get the list 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager

ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager).getIssueLinkTypes().collect {
    "Name: ${it.name} | Inward name: ${it.inward} | Outward Name: ${it.outward}"
}.join("<br>")

Is there anyway I can add 'As user' The user that will run as, like the function we have in the clone,link buildin function?

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

I edited your script, adding the "as User" field.

I hit errors as below:

user abc is a admin user

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

Is "abc" his user key ?

[Qi Jiang]

@Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]

abc is userID, how to get user key?

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

try the script below in your script console 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName("abc")?.key

Replaced with user key, got error above.

Correction, it work, looks like after original issue was create, clone and link will take some time.

[Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]]

Probably the 

def blocksId = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager).getIssueLinkTypes().findByName("Blocks")?.id

does not exist (returns null) therefore does not create any link.

[Qi Jiang]

@Thanos Batagiannis [Adaptavist]

Looks like sometimes it show as current user created the clone issue, sometimes 'As user' create clone issue. Any suggestions?

[YAVUZ AKIN]

Hi @Qi Jiang

I was looking at your post and I was wondering how you figured the properties for 

(CloneIssue.FIELD_LINK_TYPE)
(ConditionUtils.FIELD_ADDITIONAL_SCRIPT)
(CloneIssue.FIELD_SELECTED_FIELDS)
(CloneIssue.SKIP_EPIC_LINKS)
(CloneIssue.FIELD_USER_KEY)

I'm trying to find the property for PARENT and I can't find documentation anywhere.
I would appreciate it if you could help me find it.

Thanks!
