JMWE - Create issue and its subtasks in another project

Ahmad Sidawi_9aiykc

Hi, 

 

I'm looking to use the Create Issue post function to create an issue and all its subtasks in another project. I assumed this should split between two post functions but i'm struggling to iterate through the current issue's subtasks to get all their data and create them in the other project.

Hi @Ahmad Sidawi 

first of all, the two Create Issue(s) post-function must be in a Sequence of Post functions post function, unless you're using them in an Action (Shared, Scheduled or Event-based) to ensure the post-functions run one after the other (Jira doesn't guarantee that third-party post functions on issue transitions run sequentially).

Then, in the second post-function that clones the sub-tasks :

1. for the Issue Type, select "Calculated" and use {{it.fields.issuetype.id}} as the Nunjucks template
2. For Parent Issue, select "Another Issue" and use this template: {{context.newIssueKey}}
3. Choose the desired "Copy fields to new issue(s)" option
4. For the Summary field, use this as the value: {{ it.fields.summary }}
5. Check the "Create multiple issues" option and use this as the iterator: {{issue | subtasks( "*all" ) | dump(2)}}
6. Check the "Iterator returns JSON" option
