How to copy the "Epic" label field value to its Story Subtasks's labels field

jira_admin_cu

Hi Team,

 I was trying to copy the "Epic" label field value to its Story Subtasks's labels field. I don't want to copy that "Label" field value to Story, I am looking for the solution to copy directly from Epic -> Sub-task (it should not copy to Subtask parent ticket "Story).

Jira Version : 8.22.6

Addons : JMWE, script runner , and JSU

Hi @jira_admin_cu 

For your requirement, you will need to use the Post-Function for the Create transition as shown in the screenshots below:-

You will need to include a new Post-Function. From here, you will need to select the custom script post-function [ScriptRunner] as shown in the screenshot below:-

Once you have selected it, you must include the custom code.

Below is the working sample code for your reference:-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.LabelManager

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(LabelManager)
def epicLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('Epic Link').first()

if (issue.isSubTask()) {
    def parentIssue = issue.parentObject
def epicLinkValue = parentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLink).toString()
    def epicIssue = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(epicLinkValue)
    def newLabels = [] as Set<String>
    epicIssue.labels.findAll {
       newLabels.addAll(it.label)
    }
    labelManager.setLabels(loggedInUser, issue.id, newLabels, false, false)
}

Please note that the sample code provided is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

Below is a screenshot of the Post-Function configuration:-

Below are a few test screenshots for your reference:-

1. A sample epic is created with the Epic with some sample labels as shown in the screenshot below:-

2. Below is a screenshot of the Story with no labels in it.

3. Below is a screenshot of the Sub-type issue that has copied the Epic labels.

 

I hope this helps to answer your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
