Scriptrunner Postfunction: clone subtask

Duane Cronkite

Is there a way to use postfunctions to clone a subtask when a subtask transitions to a certain status.

For some reason scriptrunner doesn't allow for the selection of subtasks when using the clone postfunction.

Use Case:

When a subtask enters a failed status, we want a bug subtask created under the same parent.

Hi, @Duane Cronkite
Maybe Jira Automation?

Ok, ok, just joking, I remember, you use server )

As for your answer, it's not a simple task, because script needs to know, what fields must be set. Simple version can create basic sub-task with needed issue-type, summary, description and assignee, but copying other custom fields is very tricky case.

lol!

would it be easy if we only copied over:

Description
Summary (nice to have would be BUG: preface)
reporter = current user

Well, I think, it will help

okay it looked like it successfully created a bug but the bug is somehow being listed as a subtask of a subtask. It is not appearing as a subtask on the parent.

TP-168 test 2 is a subtask which is strange that its appearing like its the bug subtask parent.

@Evgenii : Is there a way to add a "link" between the source and created subtask to the code.

"Relates to" link will work.

Evgenii

Hi, @Duane Cronkite

It depends from your environment, IDs of link types can differ from mine.

You can use such code (adopted to your environment, of course):

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

// Set user, that will link issues
ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
// Set inward or outward link
Long sequence = 1L
// Set link type ID
Long issueLinkTypeId = 10000L

ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(fromIssue.id, toIssue.id, issueLinkTypeId, sequence, user)

Duane Cronkite

received this error:

The script could not be compiled:

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed:
Script668.groovy: 45: The current scope already contains a variable of the name user
 @ line 45, column 17.
   ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
                   ^

I added this link code directly to the bottom of the other code above. I tried removing the user piece etc but couldn't figure out how to get it to work.

Hi, @Duane Cronkite

What's the sense in it? This are 2 subtasks for one issue.

Anyway, it can be made with something like this:

/*
 * Created 2023.
 * @author Evgeniy Isaenkov
 * @github https://github.com/Udjin79/SRUtils
 */

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.config.ConstantsManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
ConstantsManager constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()

MutableIssue issue = issue as MutableIssue
MutableIssue parentIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.parentObject.key)
ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

// Set exact name of sub task you're trying to create
String issueType = "Sub-Bug"
// Set inward or outward link
Long sequence = 1L
// Set link type ID
Long issueLinkTypeId = 10000L

MutableIssue newIssue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory().getIssue()
newIssue.setProjectObject(issue.getProjectObject())
newIssue.setIssueType(constantsManager.allIssueTypeObjects.findByName(issueType))
newIssue.setSummary("BUG: ${issue.summary}")
newIssue.setDescription(issue.description)
newIssue.setAssignee(issue.assignee)
newIssue.setReporter(user)
newIssue.setLabels(null)
newIssue.setComponent(null)
newIssue.setPriorityId('3')
newIssue.setDueDate(null)
ComponentAccessor.issueManager.createIssueObject(user, newIssue)

ComponentAccessor.subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(parentIssue, newIssue, user)
ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.id, newIssue.id, issueLinkTypeId, sequence, user)
