How to copy Watchers and comments in script post-function

Jeremy Schrek

Hello,

I have a script post-function that will copy an issue to a new project on transition based on some variables. 

 

I added in some Additional Issue Actions in (copying the issue assign) using this code

issue.assignee = sourceIssue.assignee

 

Is there a way to copy over comment or more importantly watchers? I have tried issue.watchers but that is not a valld data source for issue

 

If there is not a way can I get a list of the functions for the issue (like a wiki)

 

 

I CANNOT install any additional add-ons we have a locked environment, I can only use scriptRunner or default JIRA functionality

Here is a draft for you. Initilise varialbles issue and source issue properly

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.Comment
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.watchers.WatcherManager

Issue issue
Issue sourceIssue

WatcherManager watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager();
watcherManager.startWatching(watcherManager.getWatchers(sourceIssue, null), issue);

CommentManager commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager();

for(Comment comment: commentManager.getComments(sourceIssue)){
    commentManager.create(issue, comment.authorApplicationUser, comment.body, false)
}
