Identify move issue event with a Scriptrunner cloud listener

Question

Hi everyone,

I need to change the value of a custom field when an issue is moved from one project to another or from one parent to another. For this, I plan to use a scriptrunner listener ( cloud version). However, the only listener that can relate to this is the issue updated one. How can I be sure that the script is triggered only for a move process and not for any other update? And how can I be sure to access the detail of the updated issue and not its previous properties?

Thanks,

Cédric

Thanks Ravi. But I finaly tried Jira automation to perform this.

However, this is not working:

I try to copy the parent key into a custom field. The action results in a success according to the audit log, but the field remains empty. That's puzzling.

Any help with this?

Hi @Cédric Cox

What about if you still use the Issue Created event and in your code look for the history by expanding the changelog.

/rest/api/3/issue/ESD-20?expand=changelog

If the issue is created by moving then it will have this entry.

{
"field": "Key",
"fieldtype": "jira",
"from": null,
"fromString": "ISD-17",
"to": null,
"toString": "ESD-20"
}

I hope it helps.

Ravi

@Cédric Cox  It used to be an addon but now its part of JIRA.
