Having problems when triggering post function script

[Deleted user]

Hi all,

We currently have a post-function script to update the status of the parent issue(s) when all the linked issue(s) status are Closed and/or Passed. The problem we are having is that when trying to get the status of the linked issue that triggers the post function script, it shows different results where on the first part of our script the result is correct but on the second part it shows the status prior to the transition. 

Snippet of script in question:

final String jqlSearch = "issue in linkedIssues(${issue})" 
log.warn("issue: " + issue) log.warn("jql string: " + jqlSearch) log.warn("issue status: " + issue.getStatus().getName())  

and

final String jqlQuery = "issue in linkedIssues(${it.key})"
SearchService.ParseResult parseNewResult = searchService.parseQuery(user, jqlQuery)
log.warn("Checking linked issue(es) and status")            
if ( it.issueType.name == "Test-Case"  ) {                
 if (parseNewResult.isValid()) {
  def linkedResults = searchService.search(user, parseNewResult.query, PagerFilter.unlimitedFilter)                    
  def linkedIssues = linkedResults.results                     
  linkedIssues.each {                        
   def linkedIssueStatus = it.getStatus().getName()                        
 log.warn("Linked issue and status: " + it.key + " : " + linkedIssueStatus)                           }

Checking the logs  we added, we could see that there is a difference on the result of the script (see line 3 and line 7 of logs)

Line 3 shows the updated status of the issue while line 7 shows the status before the transition. Is there any way for the it.getStatus().getName() value on line 7 be the same to the updated value on line 3?

Thanks and regards

For this one, as we were not able to find a clear cut solution what we did as a workaround was to not include the issue triggering this post function script to a counter we use for comparison. Not entirely sure if there is a cleaner way to this.
