Trying to save select value in a Scriptrunner behaviour

Peter Ellis_19ejpm

Hi,

What should be very simple has proved challenging getting the right syntax. I am successfully picking up the select fields value from the parent issue but despite the many variations I have tried to use I cannot get it copied over to the child issue,. Can someone tell me what I have done wrong?

def fldCustomer = contextIssue.getCustomFieldValue('Customer')

def fldCustomerValue = fldCustomer.toString()

getFieldByName('Customer').setFormValue(fldCustomerValue)

I have also tried using fldOptions below:

 

def fldOptions = optionsManager.findByOptionValue(fldCustomerValue)[]

Hi @Peter Ellis

What you are trying to achieve is not directly doable via ScriptRunner Behaviour for the Issue Create screen. It is only doable on an Issue Update screen because the Sub-task is not yet linked to the parent issue on the create screen and cannot invoke the field values from the parent issue.

On the other hand, if you have a scripted field, i.e. like the issue picker, you can use it to indicate the parent issue and pass the value from it. I have provided a solution for this in this community post.

The other alternative would be to use the Post-Function, e.g. on the Create transition, where once the issue is created, it will pass the field values from the parent issue to the child issue.

Below is a very simple code sample using the Custom Script Post-Function for the Create transition:-

if (issue.subTask) {
    def parent = issue.parentObject
issue.set {
        setCustomFieldValue('Sample Text Field', parent.getCustomFieldValue('Sample Text Field'))
    }
}

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram
