Scriptrunner Create issue and assign to existing epic

[Michael Venable]

Hi,

While creating a new issue using scriptrunner, I would like to assign it an existing epic. it seems the issue.setCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCustomField) is not working. any help would be greatly appreciated. 
The code I have is below. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContext

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImpl

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.manager.PrioritySchemeManager

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

def date = new Date()

def sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")

// the project key under which the issue will get created

final projectKey = 'SEC'

// stores status

final statusKey = 'AN QUE'

// the issue type for the new issue

final issueTypeName = 'Task'

// user with that user key will be the reporter of the issue

final reporterKey = 'MV108788'

// the summary of the new issue

final summary = 'test' + date

// the priority of the new issue

final priorityName = 'Low'

// sets description

final description = 'this is a decription'

//epic

final epicIssueKey = 'test'

def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService

def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager

def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

def prioritySchemeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(PrioritySchemeManager)

//finds epic

def epicLinkCustomField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects().findByName(epicIssueKey)

//finds status key

def status = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager.getStatusByName(statusKey)

//finds project key

def project = ComponentAccessor.projectManager.getProjectObjByKey(projectKey)

assert project : "Could not find project with key $projectKey"

//finds issue types

def issueType = constantsManager.allIssueTypeObjects.findByName(issueTypeName)

assert issueType : "Could not find issue type with name $issueTypeName"

// if we cannot find user with the specified key or this is null, then set as a reporter the logged in user

def reporter = ComponentAccessor.userManager.getUserByKey(reporterKey) ?: loggedInUser

// if we cannot find the priority with the given name or if this is null, then set the default priority

def issueContext = new IssueContextImpl(project, issueType) as IssueContext

// finds priority

def priorityId = constantsManager.priorities.findByName(priorityName)?.id ?: prioritySchemeManager.getDefaultOption(issueContext)

//sets all issue settings

def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {

setStatusId(statusId) //not working

setProjectId(project.id)

setDescription(description)

setIssueTypeId(issueType.id)

setReporterId(reporter.name)

setSummary(summary)

setPriorityId(priorityId)

issue.setCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCustomField)

}

def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(loggedInUser, issueInputParameters)

assert validationResult.valid : validationResult.errorCollection

def result = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)

assert result.valid : result.errorCollection

Hi @Michael Venable ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

there are some errors in your script.

//finds epic

def epicLinkCustomField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects().findByName(epicIssueKey)

//finds status key

def status = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager.getStatusByName(statusKey)

• //finds epic
  def epicLinkCustomField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects().findByName(epicIssueKey)
  • You need to search for a field "Epic Link" because you need to retrieve that Custom Field first and not the epic itself. 
• //finds status key
  def status = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager.getStatusByName(statusKey)
  • You can not create an issue in a different status from the first status of your workflow

Hope this helps,

Fabio

Hi, So i updated my script as follows:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImpl

// Replace these placeholders with your own values

def projectKey = "SEC"

def reporter = "MV108788"

def assignee = "MV108788"

def description = "This is the description for the new issue."

def summary = "New issue summary"

def priority = "Low"

def issueType = "Task"

def epicKey = "test"

// Get the issue type and priority objects

def issueTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueTypeManager()

def priorityManager = ComponentAccessor.getPriorityManager()

def issueTypeObject = issueTypeManager.getIssueType(issueType)

def priorityObject = priorityManager.getPriority(priority)

// Set up the input parameters for the new issue

def inputParams = new IssueInputParametersImpl()

inputParams.setProjectKey(projectKey)

inputParams.setReporter(reporter)

inputParams.setAssignee(assignee)

inputParams.setDescription(description)

inputParams.setSummary(summary)

inputParams.setPriority(priorityObject)

inputParams.setIssueType(issueTypeObject)

inputParams.setFieldValue("EpicLink", epicKey) // Replace "customfield_123" with the actual field ID of the epic link field

// Create the new issue

def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()

def createValidationResult = issueService.validateCreate(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().loggedInUser, inputParams)

if (createValidationResult.isValid()) {

  def createResult = issueService.create(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().loggedInUser, createValidationResult)

  if (!createResult.isValid()) {

      throw createResult.errorCollection.getErrorMessages()

  }

} else {

  throw createValidationResult.errorCollection.getErrorMessages()

}

im now getting the error:

The script could not be compiled: <pre>org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script5287.groovy: 22: unable to resolve class IssueInputParametersImpl @ line 22, column 19. def inputParams = new IssueInputParametersImpl() ^ 1 error </pre>.

not sure how to fix this because im importing:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImpl
