Different Workflows with same tranistion/status run both scripts on transition

Question

I have 2 workflows with the same transitions (Ready for Work) and statuses (In Progress).  Each workflow has a post function.

Looking at the logs, I noticed that when I go through the workflow of one, both scripts are run.

Do I have to create a new status for one of the workflows when I need to run a script?

Thanks,

Martha

I realized that for that particular post function, I had repurposed a copied one.  New post functions I created didn't show the same problem.  Once I deleted it completely and recreated it, the log problem stopped.  So yes, apparently the script ID was retained when the workflow was copied.  Thanks for the help!

I wonder if by copying a workflow, the postfunction script unique ID is replicated in the new workflow.

This could cause the logs from one workflow's execution to be displayed in both workflow.

But I doubt the workflow actually executed twice. You could confirm this by adding some logging to the script to output which issue it was run on and some other random number (.eg.

log.info "This script was executed for $issue.key. RandomUUID to verify uniqueness of execution: ${UUID.randomUUID().toString()}"

To fix this, delete your post-function and re-create it.

This would warrant a bug report to adaptavist.

I'm running Data Center 8.20.13 and seeing the same thing.  I copied a workflow shared across many projects and put the copy in a workflow scheme for a single project.  I added a ScriptRunner "create a sub-task" post condition to one transition in the copy, triggered off of a checkbox field specific to that project.  Now the execution history for that post condition on the copied workflow shows log entries for the original workflow and that transition ID.  They are all green checks and ScriptRunner says "No failures in the last 15 executions", but they all say "ERROR [utils.ConditionUtils]: Workflow condition script has failed on issue...  java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method contains() on null object"
