Using a ScriptRunner Clone Issue Post Function, how can I set a comment on the cloned issue?

Bert Dombrecht

On Jira Software Cloud, I'm using the ScriptRunner Clone Issue Post Function to create a child issue automatically.

In the 'Additional Code' section I can update some fields for the cloned issue, for example:

issueInput.fields.summary = "Prefix " + issueInput.fields.summary;

However, I cannot seem to set a comment on the to-be-created cloned issue.

On Server, this was done as:

 

doAfterCreate = {

// Add Comment

    // dispatch an event after creating the comment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;final<span>&nbsp;</span>boolean dispatchEvent = true

    // the body of the comment

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;final String commentBody =<span>&nbsp;</span>"Auto-generated Issue"

    // the author of the comment will be the logged in user

    def author = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

 

    ComponentAccessor.commentManager.create(issue, author, commentBody, dispatchEvent)

 

// Update Issue   

    issueManager.updateIssue(loggedInUser, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

}

What is the way to do this in ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud?
I appreciate your help!

Hi @Bert Dombrecht 

 

Please check this docs:

Both links are not exactly what you need but you can see an example how to add comment in Jira Cloud.
