Transition parent when sub-task is transitioned script is failing after upgrade of Jira to 9.4.1

here is my script

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowContext;

import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtil;

import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl;

import com.atlassian.jira.util.JiraUtils;

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;

String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller();

def workflowTransitionUtil = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class)

//WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = (WorkflowTransitionUtil) JiraUtils.loadComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class);

MutableIssue parent = issue.getParentObject() as MutableIssue;

String originalParentStatus  = parent?.status?.name

String issueStatus = issue?.status?.name

if (issue.issueType.name == "Sub-Task" && issueStatus == 'Ready for Development' && ( originalParentStatus == 'Backlog' || originalParentStatus == 'Ready for Refinement' || originalParentStatus == 'Ready for Development' ) ) {

    workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(parent)

    workflowTransitionUtil.setUserkey(currentUser)

    workflowTransitionUtil.setAction(131)

    workflowTransitionUtil.validate()

    workflowTransitionUtil.progress()

}

error my getting is

Hi @Jagadeesh Chander 

The error message says that workflowTransitionUtil object is null, meaning that the component is not being loaded correctly. This can be due to changes in the Jira API before the version 9.4.1. I am not sure but could you please try below solution?

Instead of this

<span>def</span> <span>workflowTransitionUtil</span> = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.<span>class</span>)

use this

<span>WorkflowTransitionUtil</span> <span>workflowTransitionUtil</span> <span>=</span> ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowTransitionUtil()

I hope it helps
