Automate trigger on state change: Cloning, linking and moving clone

Avery Jacobson

I have a bunch of projects in jira. One redlines project and a bunch of system projects. Redline tickets will have tags and other references needed to their system projects. I want to make it so that when a redlines ticket gets put in a done state it gets cloned, linked to the original ticket and move to the appropriate project into an open state based on its tags or whatever need be. I have been doing reasearch and I think I might be able to do this two  or three ways. 1) Through simple issue language / power scripting 2) With a plugins and 3) REST API. Can someone please give me some guidance on how to go about this?

Hello @Avery Jacobson !

I want to provide a solution with Power Scripts.

1. Create this script:

/* custom fields */
string[] custom_fields_mapping;

string newProjectKey = "SYSTEM";

custom_fields_mapping = "STDUP|fmanaila|STDGP|jira-users";
string k = createIssue(
  newProjectKey,
  "",
  issueType,
  summary ,
  priority,
  description,
  components,
  dueDate,
  originalEstimate,
  securityLevel,
  custom_fields_mapping
);

linkIssue(k, key, "Relates");

2. Add this script as a post function for the Done transition.
