Script runner unable to create subtask with canned script

Adam Yerkman

Trying to set up either a workflow post function or a groovy listener to create sub tasks automatically using the canned script with the script runner plugin. Either way I've set it up, I'm currently running into an error that says I cannot create a subtask on a ticket with a resolution. I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment since I've even tried this on a newly created issue and getting the same error. I would assume the NPE right before the error message is related. I'm using JIRA 6.0.5 and Script Runner 2.1.15.

Hmm, that does try to tell you what is wrong. I understand the logic behind it (if something is resolved, why on earth are you creating sub-tasks for it? It's done, you shouldn't be opening up more work on it!), but I'm not 100% sure if it's the script runner or your workflow. Either way, you need to reconsider why you're creating subtasks under resolved issues.
