Hello All,
Note: Server Edition
I wrote a custom listener to sync custom fields from the issue you are linking to.
ie: Create a Story, Link to Epic, copy custom fields down to Story.
This works, for a Story that is linking to an Epic, both when creating an issue (adding the Epic link in the form), as well as when editing the issue and adding a new link.
Shift to Epics, where the linking field is "parent" and not "epic" ...
This works, for an Epic, but only when you create AND set the "parent" field at the same time.
If I create the Epic without a "parent" link, then edit in the parent link, it doesn't work.
In ALL cases, the listener fires, and my "info" logs show everything working correctly ... it's just the "update" action doesn't appear to work the same as the "create issue" action.
I am new to Groovy and Scriptrunner so any help would be appreciated. Here is the code:
/*
* Fires when a Issue Link is created.
* Exits if Linked to Issue is not Initiative / Feature / Epic
* Copies Custom Fields down from Linked Issue
*/
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.link.IssueLinkCreatedEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
// Change Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.CreateSubtask")
log.setLevel(Level.INFO)
// Setup Custom Field Manager
def CustomFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
// Setup Issue Manager
def IssueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
/**
* Grab both target and source issue objects from the event
*/
// Grab Event
def event = event as IssueLinkCreatedEvent
// sourceIssue is really the Issue that is being Linked to.
def sourceIssue = event.getIssueLink().getSourceObject()
log.info("sourceIssue: " + sourceIssue.key)
// Exit if not Initiative / Feature / Epic
if (sourceIssue.issueType.name != "Epic" &&
sourceIssue.issueType.name != "Feature" &&
sourceIssue.issueType.name != "Initiative") {
log.info("Exiting ... sourceIssue type of: " + sourceIssue.issueType.name + " is not Epic / Feature / Initiative")
return 0
}
// Which makes the Destination object really the issue
def issue = event.getIssueLink().getDestinationObject()
log.info("issue: " + issue.key)
// define ChangeHolder Object
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();
/**
* Account Section
*/
// setup CfAccount field object
def CfAccount = CustomFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_10500')
log.info("CfAccount: " + CfAccount)
// Copy if target Field IS Empty and source field is NOT Emtpy
if(!issue.getCustomFieldValue(CfAccount) &&
sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(CfAccount)
) {
def oldData = issue.getCustomFieldValue(CfAccount)
def newData = sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(CfAccount)
CfAccount.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(oldData, newData), changeHolder);
log.info("Account Updated to: " + newData)
} else {
log.info ("Not CfAccount && not value in CfAccount")
}
Note: There are about 5 more block of custom fields, but left those off as they are exactly the same, just with different fields.
In all cases, the "logging" info looks correct, and I can't find any obvious errors in the jira log.
Why this works *always* on a create issue, but only for certain situations when editing is really strange.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also of note: I would love this to be more OO. Having to repeat the Copy Field logic block over and over again just goes against the grain. Would like to have a method where I pass in the CustomField object, and the two issues, and let it do the rest.
ie: this->updateCustom(issue, sourceIssue, "customfield_10500") ... or something like that.
Thanks again, this is driving me nuts.
