Is it possible to auto-populate Elements Connect Configuration fields (Nfeeds) from parent issue

Sruthi Biju

Is it possible to auto-populate Elements Connect Configuration fields (Nfeeds) from parent issue to child issue using groovy scripting (Behaviours/Listeners - ScriptRunner plugin)

Case 1 - From Epic to Feature

Case 2 - From Feature to User Story (Parent - subtask relation)

The user must see the auto-populated values at the Create screen itself

Hello @Sruthi Biju

I am part of the Elements Connect Support team.

When using a Listener, what you are asking for is possible using the Elements Connect API, based on the following examples: ScriptRunner - Use Elements Connect API in a script

This can be done by configuring the following Listener:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issue = event.issue;

def pluginAccessor = ComponentAccessor.getPluginAccessor();
def plugin = pluginAccessor.getPlugin("com.valiantys.jira.plugins.SQLFeed");
def serviceClass = plugin.getClassLoader().loadClass("com.valiantys.nfeed.api.IFieldValueService");

def fieldValueService = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(serviceClass);

def parentFieldId = "customfield_10403";
def childFieldId = "customfield_10404";
def parentFieldKey = fieldValueService.getFieldValues(issue.key, parentFieldId);

if(parentFieldKey){
    return fieldValueService.computeFieldsValue(issue.key, [childFieldId]);
}
else{
    return -1;
}

(i) Please replace customfield_10403 and customfield_10404 according to your own configuration.

Behaviours work differently and it's not possible to use our Elements Connect API in such a script.

Furthermore, it wasn't possible to populate a Connect field in any way until version 6.11, in which the following Change Request has been released: CO-3116 - It shall be possible to set the value of an Elements Connect field with Behaviours (ScriptRunner)

I advise you to read the following documentation on this subject: Can Elements Connect fields be manipulated from a ScriptRunner Behaviours script?

Please let me know if further help is needed.

Kind regards,
Simon.

Hi @Simon Laffont ,

In both parent and child issues we have the same Nfeed field. We need to autopopulate the value we have selected in parent issue to the same Nfeed field we have maintained for child issue as well.

For e.g.:

Nfeed field : customfield_10403

In Parent captured some value for Nfeed field : customfield_10403 as "abc"

In child we need the value "abc" for same Nfeed field : customfield_10403

Kind regards,

Sruthi Biju

Hi @Sruthi Biju

Alright, so here is the Listener that you could set up:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.config.SubTaskManager

SubTaskManager subTaskManager = ComponentAccessor.getSubTaskManager();

def issue = event.issue;
 
def pluginAccessor = ComponentAccessor.getPluginAccessor();
def plugin = pluginAccessor.getPlugin("com.valiantys.jira.plugins.SQLFeed");
def serviceClass = plugin.getClassLoader().loadClass("com.valiantys.nfeed.api.IFieldValueService");

def fieldValueService = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(serviceClass);

def connectFieldId = "customfield_10403";

def parentFieldValue = fieldValueService.getFieldValues(issue.key, connectFieldId);

Collection subTasks = issue.getSubTaskObjects()
if (subTaskManager.subTasksEnabled && !subTasks.empty) {
    subTasks.each {
        log.warn(issue.key+' has a subtask:' + it.getKey())  
        fieldValueService.setFieldValue(it.getKey(), connectFieldId, parentFieldValue);
        log.warn('Connect field has been updated in '+ it.getKey())  
    }
}

This way, the Connect field will be updated in all subtasks of an issue.

I configured this Listener to be triggered on the Issue Updated event.

Please let me know if it works on your end.

Kind regards,
Simon.

Hi @Simon Laffont ,

Tried to add the Custom listener in Jira (Data centre), but getting the static type checking errors. I anyway tried adding Issue Created and Issue Updated events, but the script didn't work as expected.
