We are using a Jira project to manage all our onboarding tasks whenever a new employee joins our department. The information about the teams and their leads are implemented using the components and component leads (and relabelling the field using behaviours). All other data is implemented as custom fields.
Whenever a new employee joins, the manager creates a new "Onboarding" issue and fills out the required fields. After he clicks "Create" a bunch of sub-tasks are created automatically and assigned to different users with different due dates based on the information entered in the parent issue. Also, some of the sub-tasks are linked together using a "depends on" linking type.
I have implemented this using Scriptrunner. For each sub-task I have created a Post Function script call, which is triggered in the Create transition. Those calls are in a particular order, so sub-tasks created later on can link to sub-tasks created earlier.
The problem is, that creating a new onboarding ticket takes a long time and sometimes I run into timeout issues, where the create issue dialog switches back from an inactive state back to an active state, because I have hit some kind of timeout limit, even though the post functions are still running in the background (they all finish successfully).
I have attached one of the scripts, which mostly all look the same. Maybe someone can give me feedback on how to optimize the script, so it might run faster.
