Behaviours - getting a subtasks parent DueDate

Will C

Hi there,

 

I am trying to write a script that wont let you edit, create a subtask if the due date is further in the future than the parent issue.

I have searched on various old posts and thought I could do this by using

Jamie's example here - https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/recipes/behaviours/subtask-default-fields.html

or I have seen you can get the parent by using underlyingissue.parent or getparent()?

In the past in other areas of scriptrunner I can use issue.getParentObject

how can I get the parent due date so I can compare it to the child due date?

Can you also look at the below, I have changed this I am comparing custom fields on the same issue but ignore the script for now, is this in the right place? or should it be on the initialiser if I want to get it for parent duedate?

Hi,

If you simply need to compare the issue's due date to the parent's due date you can use this code (remember that you need to check that the issue is created and that the parent exists) : 

def dueDate = getFieldById("duedate").getValue()
if (underlyingIssue?.getParentObject()){
    def parentDueDate = underlyingIssue.getParentObject().getDueDate()
}

You can then compare them : 

if (dueDate.compareTo(parentDueDate) > 0){

getFieldById("duedate").setError("The child due date value must be set prior to the parent due date")

}
