How to copy fields from parent issue to sub tasks?(script-runner)(Groovy)(Post-Function)

Sebastian Gomez_mrxtj7

I was able to piece together a script that generates multiple sub tasks when the parent issue is created. That being said, I need to be able to transfer some of the fields from the parent issue over to the sub tasks but have not been able to do so. 

I used the lines below as suggested by other posts with no success. 

//def custom fields
def cf_SepDate = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Separation Date")
def cf_Position = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Position Series & Grade")
def cf_reason = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Reason For Separation")

//custom fields values
def cfv_SepDate = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf_SepDate) as Date
String cfv_Position = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf_Position)
Option cfv_reason = (Option) issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf_reason)

//creates the subtask
MutableIssue newSubTask = issueFactory.getIssue()  
newSubTask.setSummary(summary) 
newSubTask.setParentObject(parentIssue) 
newSubTask.setProjectObject(issue.getProjectObject()) 
newSubTask.setDescription(parentIssue.description)

ApplicationUser userA = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager().getUserByName(assignee[i]) 
log.warn("Assigned User: " + userA.displayName)  
newSubTask.setAssignee(userA) 
newSubTask.setReporter(userA) 
newSubTask.setIssueTypeId(constantManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects().find{it.getName() == issuetypes[i]}.getId())

Map<String,Object> newIssueParams = ["issue" : newSubTask] as Map<String,Object> 
issueManager.createIssueObject(user, newIssueParams) 
subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(parentIssue, newSubTask, user)

/*below are the lines of code that I am having issues with.
newSubTask.setCustomFieldValue(cf_SepDate, cfv_SepDate)
newSubTask.setCustomFieldValue(cf_Position, cfv_Position)
newSubTask.setCustomFieldValue(cf_reason, cfv_reason)

 

Is there any other way to transfer these fields without the use of add-ons? Jira is not showing any error message when the script runs.

 

Thanks in advance for any help

@Sebastian Gomez , I'd need to dig around in my scripts (and will if this doesn't get you going) to find the exact syntax but what is happening is the fields are set but you haven't told the DB about it yet. You'll need to add an update step to update the subtasks which will commit the value and generate an issue updated event.
