Flow down selected date to another issue type based on links.

Laci

My team has their hierarchy built in the following manner:

 Epic -> Feature -> Story

This is achieved by linking issues with the derivation issue type between features and stories. On our Feature, we have a date picker custom field in which a due date can be selected. We have scriptrunner and I am trying to achieve being able to autopopulate the STORY'S due date with the same date that has been entered for the FEATURE. 

 

Would someone be able to help me out with a script for this? I've done this before with multi-select lists, but I can't get the script to work for the date picker. Thanks so much!

I assumes you want to set Story's due date after Story issue creation via a post-function and the link to feature is selected in creation.

As an example, I am creating an issue with a link "causes" to another Isuue. The issue link type name is "Problem/Incident". After creation, newly created issue should have the same date picker field value as the linked issue.

1. Navigate Project Settings > Workflow > edit your workflow > add post-function on "Create" transition > add post-function > choose "Custom script post-function".

2. Use following script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

def problemIncidentIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.id).find {it.issueLinkType.name == "Problem/Incident"}
def linkedIssue = problemIncidentIssueLink.getDestinationObject()
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Just Date Picker").first()
def linkedIssueDate = linkedIssue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, linkedIssueDate)
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, true)

3. Remember to move the order of this post-function to be after "Creates the issue originally".

Depends on your link setup, you might want to use getInwardLinks() instead of getOutwardLinks(), use getSourceObject() instead of getDestinationObject().
