Using Script Runner for scheduled issue creation

Osama Al-Areky

Hello,

I am trying to program issue creation according to the input of the user on a date field on an existing issue. The user select either one date, and the issue is created on that that date, or selects a frequency and how many times (daily, weekly, monthly) so that the a new issue is created repeatedly according to that frequency (ex, weekly, 4 times), or select a period, and the issue is created every day of this period. I have selected the following code template but still doesn't work and nothing happens when executed:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
def issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.issueFactory
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.constantsManager

def currentUser = userManager.getUserByName("admin") // Replace with the appropriate username
def project = issue.getProjectObject()

// Get values from custom fields
def singleDate = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Single Date").getValue(issue)
def frequency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Frequency").getValue(issue)
def numOccurrences = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Number of Occurrences").getValue(issue)
def startDate = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Start Date").getValue(issue)
def endDate = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("End Date").getValue(issue)

// Logic to create issues based on the selected options
def dateToCreateIssue = null

if (singleDate) {
    dateToCreateIssue = singleDate
} else if (frequency && numOccurrences) {
    // Create issues based on frequency and number of occurrences
    for (int i = 0; i < numOccurrences; i++) {
        if (dateToCreateIssue) {
            dateToCreateIssue = incrementDate(dateToCreateIssue, frequency)
        } else {
            dateToCreateIssue = startDate
        }

        createNewIssue(project, dateToCreateIssue)
    }
} else if (startDate && endDate) {
    // Create issues for each day within the date range
    dateToCreateIssue = startDate
    while (dateToCreateIssue <= endDate) {
        createNewIssue(project, dateToCreateIssue)
        dateToCreateIssue = incrementDate(dateToCreateIssue, "daily")
    }
}

// Function to increment the date based on frequency
Date incrementDate(Date date, String frequency) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
    calendar.setTime(date)

    if (frequency == "daily") {
        calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1)
    } else if (frequency == "weekly") {
        calendar.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, 1)
    } else if (frequency == "monthly") {
        calendar.add(Calendar.MONTH, 1)
    }

    return calendar.getTime()
}

// Function to create a new issue
void createNewIssue(project, dateToCreateIssue) {
    def newIssue = issueFactory.getIssue()
    newIssue.setIssueTypeId("yourIssueType") // Replace with your issue type
    newIssue.setProjectObject(project)
    newIssue.setSummary("New issue created on ${dateToCreateIssue}")
    newIssue.setDescription("Description goes here")
    
    // Set other fields as needed

    issueManager.createIssueObject(
        currentUser,
        newIssue
    )
}

Hi @Osama Al-Areky what is the platform you are on?  What do you mean nothing happens?  Where are you putting this code?  Are you getting any logs output?
