Script runner; assign a created subtask

Cinnober Admins

I'm curently using script runner to create subtasks for several types of issues and I'm tring to find a way to automaticly assign these subtasks to users that I define in custom fields.

Right now I am manually assigning these which is tedious work.

the following script does something similar to what I need but I don't know how to edit it to make it work for me:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.IssueChangeHolder
 
ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance();
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager();
IssueManager issueManager = componentManager.getIssueManager();
 
CustomField srcField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "CustomField"}
 
cfwt = issue.getCustomFieldValue(srcField);
 
 
if (cfwt == "CustomFieldValue001"){
            issue.setAssignee(ComponentManager.instance.userUtil.getUserObject('vend001'))
            }
             
else if (cfwt == "CustomFieldValue002"){
            issue.setAssignee(ComponentManager.instance.userUtil.getUserObject('vend002'))
            }
else if (cfwt == "CustomFieldValue003"){
            issue.setAssignee(ComponentManager.instance.userUtil.getUserObject('vend003'))
            }

if you want to set assignee from user coustom field then try with this code

CustomField userField= getCustomFieldObjectByName("User Field name"); //change field name here
User userFieldValue=(User)issue.getCustomFieldValue(userField);
issue.setAssignee(userFieldValue)

This is the error I get when trying your code together with imports

Code used:
"
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ImportUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

CustomField userField= getCustomFieldObjectByName("Team Leader");
User userFieldValue=(User)issue.getCustomFieldValue(userField);
issue.setAssignee(userFieldValue);
"

try with the following code

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

  
ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance();
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager();
  
CustomField srcField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "CustomField"}  
def cfwt = issue.getCustomFieldValue(srcField);
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == "Team Leader" }
def cfValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)
issue.setAssignee(cfValue);

This does not seem to work either. I cannot see if it's a syntax fault of nonworking code...

Did you change the string "CustomField" in the example code?

Add some logging so you can see what exactly is null...

Cinnober Admins

Thanks for your help Jamie. Please close.

Cinnober Admins

This code can be used to assign a subtask to a person defined in a custom field (in this example the field is named "Team Leader")


import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance();
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager();

// List all available fields //customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).each {log.debug("Field: " + it.name)} 
try {
	CustomField srcField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Team Leader"}  
// log.debug("srcField: " + srcField) 
	def cfValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(srcField);
// log.debug("cfValue: " + cfValue) 
	issue.setAssignee(cfValue);
} catch (Exception e) {
	log.error(e.message, e)
}

Can you mark at least one answer as accepted. It's also nice to vote up and "like comments" for the ones you found helpful.

Hey Guys,

I am new to Plugin/Coding, that being said where do I need paste this code to assign the subtask using an person defined in an custom field in the parent issue. Thanks in advance.

JamieA

If you're using the "create subtask" built-in script from Script Runner, in the "additional issue actions" block.

Rathna

Thanks Jamie. One last question using you plugin I believe that you can create multiple subtasks in one go under transition post function. Is there any place where I can refer to step-by-step instruction on how to setup creating more than 2 subtasks ? Thanks in advance.

JamieA

Simplest thing is just to add multiple post-functions.
