How do I create a script post function when creating a new issue?

Barry Pickering

Hi there,

I've just downloaded Scriptrunner to Jira cloud and want to add a post function script so that when I create a new issue, it automatically inherits the value entered in the associated epic.

From what I've read in the Community, it looks like I need to add a script to a workflow transition.

I'm struggling to understand which workflow needs editing. Are there specific workflows for issue creation that I need to configure?

I've never used Scriptrunner before, so am on a big learning curve...!

Thanks

Hi Barry,

Thank you for your question.  

I can that in order to add a post function you should navigate to the project settings for the project which you wish to add the post function to which is located at the URL of <JiraBaseUrl>/secure/project/EditProject!default.jspa?pid=IdOfProjectHere.

Once on the project settings page, you should find the workflow that you want to edit and open it to edit in diagram mode and edit the transition where you wish to add the post function too.

You will then need to select the ScriptRunner Post-Function radio button and then the Run Script option on the screen that is displayed. This will then bring up a screen where you can enter the code for your post function. 

I can confirm that you can find more details of how to edit workflows inside of the Atlassian documentation pages located here.

I can also to confirm that to get started you can see lots of examples inside of the documentation pages located here and here as well as by clicking any of the links next to the Example text under any code box such as on the Script Console page.
