Actionable Jira Popup on Workflow Transition to Close Sub-tasks of Parent Issue

Shawna Morris

I'm hoping that someone can help me since my research has not yielded any results. 

I have the following requirements:

1. When a parentIssue moves to a "Closed" status, all Sub-tasks (not in a currently "Closed" status) are also moved to a "Closed" status. 
2. Before this move occurs, a popup is displayed that notifies the User that if they continue to move the parentIssue to "Closed", all Sub-tasks will also be Closed and are prompted with two options: Confirm or Cancel. 
   1. I know that ScriptRunner has a built in "Close Parent Issue if Sub-tasks are all closed" prompt like this... and I'm trying to essentially do something similar but in reverse.
3. IF User selects "Confirm", THEN the workflow will automatically execute and the code will close all Sub-tasks not in a "Closed" status AND the parentIssue. 
4. IF User select "Cancel", THEN no action is taken on the parentIssue or the Sub-tasks; all issues remain in their current status. 

The code that I have currently written will fulfill Requirement 1... 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def subTasks = issue.getSubTaskObjects()
subTasks.each {
if (it.statusObject.statusCategory != "Done") {
def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()
issueInputParameters.with {
setResolutionId("10500") // resolution of "Assumed Complete"
setComment("Sub-task was Closed (with a resolution of 'Assumed Complete') as a result of the Parent Item being Closed.")
setSkipScreenCheck(true)
}

// validate and transition subtask
def validationResult = issueService.validateTransition(user, it.id, 41, issueInputParameters) // transitionId of "Closed" for the Sub-task Workflow
if (validationResult.isValid()) {
def issueResult = issueService.transition(user, validationResult)
if (!issueResult.isValid()) {
log.warn("Failed to transition subtask ${it.key}, errors: ${issueResult.errorCollection}")
}
} else {
log.warn("Could not transition subtask ${it.key}, errors: ${validationResult.errorCollection}")
}
}
}

And I have a bit of a stop-gap coded where we display a notification that Sub-tasks will be closed (these appear in the upper-right hand corner) but I'd really like to make them actionable rather than notified. Here's the code for that notification... 

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.config.properties.APKeys

def baseUrl = ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString(APKeys.JIRA_BASEURL)
def issueUrl = "$baseUrl/browse/$issue.key"

UserMessageUtil.success("All 'New' or 'In Progress' Sub-tasks will be moved to a 'Closed' status as a result of this transition." )

But I cannot figure out how to accomplish Requirements 2-4. Has anyone been able to do something like this? Would you mind sharing your tips/tricks/code? 

We're currently running on Jira Server 8.9.0 and have JSU and ScriptRunner. 

Thanks so much!

You don't need Scriptrunner to do the screen part (and it couldn't do it anyway).  Plain Jira already does almost all of it off-the-shelf.

Create a workflow that has a "transition screen" on the close transition.  You probably want to put the "resolution" field on it.  For added text, use a Jira Toolkit "message field for edit" on the screen to put your message on the screen.
