Restrict sub-task options based on parent issue type

Ian Balas_egon36

Is there a way with scriptrunner to restrict the sub-tasks that you can create depending on the parent issue that you're creating it in?

I want to limit the sub-task options when creating under a standard issue type called "Comms" to just "Plan", "Weekly Download", "Slack", "Email", "Weekly Wrap", "The Street", "Edit",  and "Write".

Referencing SRJIRA-1010, I thought this initialiser script would do the trick:

 

import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.ISSUE_TYPE
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

Issue parentIssue = underlyingIssue.parentObject

def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()
def commsIssueType = constantsManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects().find { it.name == "Comms" }

if(parentIssue.getIssueType().equals(commsIssueType)){
def subtaskSet = constantsManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects().findAll 
{ it.name in ["Plan", "Weekly Download", "Slack", "Email", "Weekly Wrap", "The Street", "Edit", "Write"] }
.collectEntries{
[(it.id)]}

getFieldById("issuetype").setFieldOptions(subtaskSet)
}

 

But unfortunately I still see other sub-task issue types still available.

Hi @Ian Balas, 

At the moment, this is not doable using the Behaviour.

The alternative would be to use javascript, as discussed in this community post. 

Another alternative suggested in this community post is to use ScriptRunner's validator.

I hope this helps to answer your question.

Thank you and Kind Regards,

Ram
