Auto pick custom fields based on 1 field (dependent custom field) scriptrunner

Question

Hi All,

I have few custom fields which i want to automate, if i fill the inputs in one custom field then based on first first field, rest few fields get autofill.

for example- am running an hr project and in which i have specific role, standard role and broader role

so specific role- backend developer, standard role - developer, broader role - development.

How would i start putting in script runner/behavior ? could you pls suggest.

So far i have learnt is below :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def cfSpecific Role = getFieldById("customfield_122321")
def cfStandardized role = getFieldById("customfield_23601")
def cfBroader Category = getFieldById("customfield_24652")
def cfNext Level Category = getFieldById("customfield_24254")

@Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_  Hello, Thanks for helping here,

i have used ScriptRunner Create Sub-Task post-function. to accomplish the given task but the thing i observed, the leaver Jira Admin use the same transitions when tickets created and moved to start in progress, and also in the transition when tickets get reopened and status back in start in progress, so to simply when ticket created (issue story type) and transit to "start in progress" then all sub-tasks created but tickets get reopened and again same sub-tasks get created. any suggestion? or i do need to break the workflow step and set new function for then tickets get re-open?

this is new for me HAPI feature. You can refer to this Adaptavist Library sample code., will explore this too.

Hi @Manoj

There are multiple approaches to solving this requirement.

Firstly if you want to create different types of sub-tasks simultaneously, you can follow the steps in this Community Post.

The second approach you can use is to use ScriptRunner Create Sub-Task post-function. You must add multiple copies of this post-function, i.e. each for one of the Sub-Tasks types.

The third approach will be using the very simple code now doable using ScriptRunner's HAPI feature. You can refer to this Adaptavist Library sample code.

Please note to use the HAPI feature; you must upgrade your ScriptRunner plugin to the latest release, 7.12.0

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
