Hi All,

I need a script to the following requirement:

Whenever a Jira issue is moved from one project to another project the created date will set to the present date.

Could anyone please provide a script for the above requirement.

Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi @DevaKiran ,

I would suggest to add a script listener on the Issue Moved event. Select the appropriate projects and use this script : 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.IssueIndexingService

def changeItem = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")
def sourceProject = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "project"}?.oldstring
def targetProject = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "project"}?.newstring

if (sourceProject && sourceProject != targetProject){
    issue.setCreated(new Date().toTimestamp())
    def issueIndexingService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService)
    issue.store()
    issueIndexingService.reIndex(issue)
}

 Let me know if that helps.
