Scriptrunner Create issue and assign to existing epic

Question

Hi,

While creating a new issue using scriptrunner, I would like to assign it an existing epic. it seems the issue.setCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCustomField) is not working. any help would be greatly appreciated. 
The code I have is below.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessorimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImplimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.config.manager.PrioritySchemeManagerimport com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessorimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManagerimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issueimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManagerimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssueimport java.text.SimpleDateFormat
def date = new Date()def sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss")
// the project key under which the issue will get createdfinal projectKey = 'SEC'// stores statusfinal statusKey = 'AN QUE'// the issue type for the new issuefinal issueTypeName = 'Task'// user with that user key will be the reporter of the issuefinal reporterKey = 'MV108788'// the summary of the new issuefinal summary = 'test' + date// the priority of the new issuefinal priorityName = 'Low'// sets descriptionfinal description = 'this is a decription'//epic final epicIssueKey = 'test'
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueServicedef constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.constantsManagerdef loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUserdef prioritySchemeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(PrioritySchemeManager)
//finds epicdef epicLinkCustomField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects().findByName(epicIssueKey)//finds status keydef status = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager.getStatusByName(statusKey)//finds project keydef project = ComponentAccessor.projectManager.getProjectObjByKey(projectKey)assert project : "Could not find project with key $projectKey"//finds issue typesdef issueType = constantsManager.allIssueTypeObjects.findByName(issueTypeName)assert issueType : "Could not find issue type with name $issueTypeName"// if we cannot find user with the specified key or this is null, then set as a reporter the logged in userdef reporter = ComponentAccessor.userManager.getUserByKey(reporterKey) ?: loggedInUser// if we cannot find the priority with the given name or if this is null, then set the default prioritydef issueContext = new IssueContextImpl(project, issueType) as IssueContext// finds prioritydef priorityId = constantsManager.priorities.findByName(priorityName)?.id ?: prioritySchemeManager.getDefaultOption(issueContext)
//sets all issue settingsdef issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {setStatusId(statusId) //not workingsetProjectId(project.id)setDescription(description)setIssueTypeId(issueType.id)setReporterId(reporter.name)setSummary(summary)setPriorityId(priorityId)issue.setCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCustomField)}

def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(loggedInUser, issueInputParameters)assert validationResult.valid : validationResult.errorCollection
def result = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)assert result.valid : result.errorCollection

Hi, So i updated my script as follows: import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessorimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersimport com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImpl// Replace these placeholders with your own values def projectKey = "SEC" def reporter = "MV108788" def assignee = "MV108788" def description = "This is the description for the new issue." def summary = "New issue summary" def priority = "Low" def issueType = "Task" def epicKey = "test" // Get the issue type and priority objects def issueTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueTypeManager() def priorityManager = ComponentAccessor.getPriorityManager() def issueTypeObject = issueTypeManager.getIssueType(issueType) def priorityObject = priorityManager.getPriority(priority) // Set up the input parameters for the new issue def inputParams = new IssueInputParametersImpl() inputParams.setProjectKey(projectKey) inputParams.setReporter(reporter) inputParams.setAssignee(assignee) inputParams.setDescription(description) inputParams.setSummary(summary) inputParams.setPriority(priorityObject) inputParams.setIssueType(issueTypeObject) inputParams.setFieldValue("EpicLink", epicKey) // Replace "customfield_123" with the actual field ID of the epic link field // Create the new issue def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService() def createValidationResult = issueService.validateCreate(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().loggedInUser, inputParams) if (createValidationResult.isValid()) { def createResult = issueService.create(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().loggedInUser, createValidationResult) if (!createResult.isValid()) { throw createResult.errorCollection.getErrorMessages() } } else { throw createValidationResult.errorCollection.getErrorMessages() } im now getting the error: The script could not be compiled:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script5287.groovy: 22: unable to resolve class IssueInputParametersImpl @ line 22, column 19. def inputParams = new IssueInputParametersImpl() ^ 1 error

.not sure how to fix this because im importing: import com.atlassian.jira.issue.context.IssueContextImpl

Hi @Michael Venable ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

there are some errors in your script.

//finds epic
def epicLinkCustomField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects().findByName(epicIssueKey)
//finds status key
def status = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager.getStatusByName(statusKey)* 
//finds epic
def epicLinkCustomField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects().findByName(epicIssueKey)* You need to search for a field "Epic Link" because you need to retrieve that Custom Field first and not the epic itself.

* 
//finds status key
def status = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager.getStatusByName(statusKey)* You can not create an issue in a different status from the first status of your workflow

Hope this helps,

Fabio
