ScriptRunner: Set reporter of sub-task to the assignee of the parent task

Question

Hello

I have a behaviour which should set the reporter of a sub-task to the assignee of the parent task.

Here's an extract of my script.

FormField parent = getFieldById("parentIssueId")
Long parentIssueId = parent.getFormValue() as Long

def parentIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(parentIssueId)
def parentIssueAssignee = parentIssue.assigneeId

def subTaskReporter = getFieldById(REPORTER)

subTaskReporter.setFormValue(parentIssueAssignee)
subTaskReporter.setReadOnly(true)

However, the reporter remains the same as the current user.

When I hardcode the reporter to for example "svc_jirabot", it works.

subTaskReporter.setFormValue("svc_jirabot")

The assignee ID gets retrieved successfully so I don't know what's the issue here. Here's an extract of my debug log

[c.o.j.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours] --------------------This is to test Behaviours Logging----------------
[c.o.j.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours] svc_jirabot

Any Ideas?

I would like the user to be able to see what is being set right on the create issue screen. It enhances usability in my opinion.

I have never worked with the backend API and as I'm really close to getting it, I don't think it would be the easier aproach. Scriptrunner ist just bugging out here idk

The kind of requirement which you have is easier to implement using the backend API instead of behaviour.

Hello @[deleted]

Instead of using Behaviour for this, why don't you implement this change in the post-function of the create transition of the sub-task.
