How do I retrieve SOURCE Issue object of cloned issue in Script Runner post-function?

Question

Hi,

I want to distinguish Clone operation and clear certain field value through Script Runner custom post-function script.

How can I get the source issue object and confirm the issue is created by cloning (not created originally)?

I have tried using transientVars["sourceIssue"].key. But It returns null pointer.

Thanks

Hmm after I checked, it seems I'm having the same problem.

I tried using a doAfterCreate callback, which doesn't seem to work either.

I hope someone else can figure it out.

Hi @Mathis Hellensberg

def sourceIssues = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id)

sourceIssues  always return EMPTY list since I am adding it on Create transition which is the 1st step in the workflow.

Also, I have added the post-function script at the end (even after re-indexing step)

It still returns EMPTY always.

Don't know what else to do.

Hi @Mathis Hellensberg , Thanks for the response.

def sourceIssues = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id)

sourceIssues returns EMPTY [] always since I am adding this script in Create transition which is 1st step the workflow.

I am also adding this at the end in the post-function list (even after re-indexing step). Still, It returns EMPTY / null always.

Don't know what else to do.
