Identify a cloned issue using a workflow post function on create transition and change something

Question

Hi,

I am trying to identify a cloned issue using a post-function on create step of the workflow.

If it is a clone, I will like to perform some changes in the issue(custom fields, summary, assignee)

Is it possible? Anyone knows how? I tried several variants none seems to work

Below is the clearest one, I am using scriptrunner but...not working

Any idea? This script always return something in else. The name of the link is correct, tryed uppercase, all lowercase. same result. I think I'm missing something.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue 
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor 
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.link.IssueLinkCreatedEvent

def linkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()

if (linkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId()).any {IssueLink link ->
    link.getIssueLinkType().getName() == "Cloners"})
{
  //do something
}else{

//nothing
}

Thanks

Hi Mathis,

Some-how, on my end this is not working and I'm not able to see the results of

linkedIssue.issueLinkType.id

In logs will appear only workflowopperation

Hmm this works in my console. I have comment out the issue I was using for testing purposes :)

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
import org.apache.log4j.Level;

log.setLevel(Level.INFO);

def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
//def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject("SD-492")

def clonedId = 10001 //Cloned

def links = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id)

links.each() { linkedIssue ->

if (linkedIssue.issueLinkType.id == clonedId) {

def clonedIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(linkedIssue.sourceId)
      log.info("Watch out issue with key: ${clonedIssue} is a clone!")

}

Hope it helps! :)
