postfunction precondition to create linked issues.

Question

Hi,

I have a "Biz Design" transition from Requirement state --> Biz Design and

Tech design --> Biz design

I am using Create A Linked Issue (JSU) to create issues during the Biz design transition. I need to create issue if the transition is coming from Requirement state --> Biz Design

How I can have pre-condition. Here I tried with below code but it is not looking the previous condition. linked issues creating all the times.

def PrevStatus = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").getAt(changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue,"status").size() - 1).getFromString()

def TureORFalse = true

if( PrevStatus == "Requirements" && issue.getStatus().getName() == "Biz Design"){
issLinkManagerobj.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).each{ fooLink ->
def fooIssue = fooLink.getDestinationObject()

if(fooIssue.summary == "Project Construction Approval"){

TureORFalse = false

}else{

TureORFalse = true

}
}
}else{

TureORFalse = false

}

return TureORFalse

Here is my post function configuration. Where I am doing mistake?

@Oliver Siebenmarck _Polymetis Apps_ Look like you are correct. We have to use Precondition only. Other than those will not work to check as per the document. I have to use those preconditions only to work JSU scripts.

Hi @Omprakash Thamsetty

This thread hopefully answers your question by giving you an idea of how to check for previous statuses: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/How-to-get-the-previous-status-of-an-Issue/qaq-p/639638

Hope it helps! :)

Hi @Omprakash Thamsetty ,

I'm neither a Jira Server nor JSU expert, but if do remember correctly, not just any post function will work as a JSU precondition. You will need to use one of the two "Precondition…" post functions provided by JSU to achieve what you are trying to do. Beecom documented the way to do this here.

Hope that helps,
