How create an issue via groovy filling a cascading field?

Question

The code that I trying run is it:

...
def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {
    setProjectId(project.id)
    setIssueTypeId(issueType.id)
    setReporterId(loggedInUser.name)
    setSummary(summary)
    setPriorityId(priorityId)
    setComponentIds(component as Long)
    setDescription(description)
    addCustomFieldValue(data_field_id, data as String)
    addCustomFieldValue(area_solicitante_field_id, "Department -> IT")
  }

def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(loggedInUser, issueInputParameters)
if (validationResult.isValid()){
    def result = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)
}else{
    return validationResult.getErrorCollection()    
}

But I give this error:

Errors: {customfield_17401=The option 'Department -> IT' is an invalid parent option}
Error Messages: []

How parse data correctly to fill this error?

Hi! 
For searchers like me )
To set 2nd level add ":1" to custom field Id:

def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Your Cascade field name")[0]

def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {

...

addCustomFieldValue(cf.getId(), 'Parent value text or Id number')

addCustomFieldValue(cf.getId() + ":1", 'Child value text or Id number')

}

Hi @Rafael Costa
look at the following script excerpt, precisely that is what I say, you can create first the Issue, and after that (probably based on your conditions - selecting the child field) update then the Issue; in my case, I'm assigning it after creation (I could have done the creation with the assignment at once, but I needed to do it in two steps.):

def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {

setProjectId(project.id)

setIssueTypeId(issueType.id)

setReporterId(reporter.toString())

setSummary(summary)

setDescription(description)

setPriorityId(priorityId)

addCustomFieldValue("customfield_16873", objectData.objectKey as String)

}

def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(loggedInUser, issueInputParameters)

assert validationResult.valid : validationResult.errorCollection

def result = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)

assert result.valid : result.errorCollection

def String issueKey = result.getIssue().getKey()

def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(issueKey)

def userAssignee = userManager.getUserByKey(assignee.toString())

def validateAssignResult = issueService.validateAssign(userAssignee, issue.id, issue.reporterId)

assert validationResult.valid : validateAssignResult.errorCollection

def resultAssign = issueService.assign(userAssignee, validateAssignResult)

assert resultAssign.valid : validateAssignResult.errorCollection

Hi @Rafael Costa! Create first the issue with the parent field. (Also I mean don't put the child field in the creation process). After having the issue created, then update the issue, filling the child field.

Good luck!
