Scriptrunner Listener: How to avoid creating duplicates using the built-in script Create a sub-task?

Diana Gorv

I'm using the built-in custom listener script 'Create a sub-task' and I follow the guidance here. 

I have set the trigger events to Issue Created and Issue Updated. And whenever the parent issue is either created or updated with a custom field value = xyz, it will create the subtasks. Works like charm.

But now, every time the parent issue is updated on any field, it will create more sub-tasks.

I cannot share a screenshot but my code looks like this

Under Conditions:

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Radio Button")
def cfValue = cf.getAt(0).getValue(issue)

if (issue.issueType.name == "Bug" &&
    cfValue.toString().equals("XYZ") &&
    issue.getSubtaskObjects().find {it.summary() != "Custom summary here"}){

       return true
}

Target issue set to 'sub-task',

copy all fields,

under Additional issue actions:

issue.summary = 'Custom summary here'

I've also tried using 'Subtask Action' and set it to 'Done', but the script still auto creates more subtasks as "To Do".

What do I need to add if I want the built-in script to search via the summary, and if that subtask summary already exist, then it will not create?

Hi, @Diana Gorv 

Try this condition

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Radio Button")
def cfValue = cf.getAt(0).getValue(issue)

if (issue.getSubtaskObjects().find { it.summary() != "Custom summary here" }) {
if (issue.issueType.name == "Bug" && cfValue.toString().equals("XYZ")) {
return true
   }
} else {
return false
}
