SIL - Copy links from parent

Błażej O_

Hello.

I'm struggling with a weird problem with SIL custom field.

What I'm trying to do is to copy links from parent right away on creation of subtask. However the tricky part is I want to copy only the links to issues with creation date after some date set in the customfield.

Here is my code:

string[] mlinked_issues = linkedIssues(parent);
string mthis_key = key;
string mlink_key;
string mindex = size(mlinked_issues);

 
for(number i=0; i&lt;=mindex; i=i+1)
{
    mlink_key = mlinked_issues[i];
    logPrint("ERROR", "KEY: " + mlink_key + "--------- if(" + %mlink_key%.created + " &gt;= " + %mthis_key%.customfield_10900 + ");");
    if (%mlink_key%.created &gt;= %mthis_key%.customfield_10900)
    {
        logPrint("ERROR", "I'm inside IF statement!");
        linkIssue(key, mlink_key, "Relates");
    }
}

What is weird about it: earlier I have had the script without "if" statement and it worked perfectly copying ALL links from parent. Now, when I added "if" statement, it is still copying all links even though it is NOT entering the "if" statement. I even removed completely the "linkIssue" command... and it still copy all links from parent. Don't ask me how, I am completely confused.

Logs show that it shouldn't enter the "if" statement as well as some errors:

I will appreciate any help on this issue. I'm quite new to using SIL, and probably I'm making some newbie mistakes, yet I can't find them for more than 6 hours already...

Hi,

It's the for condition that is wrong. It should be i < mindex instead of <=. The <= will do an extra iteration on a null element and that's the one that fails. It still creates the issue links because it works ok until the last iteration when it fails.

Hi,

Błażej O_

That's exactly what was wrong, thanks!
Sorry for such late acceptance of the answer.

Hi Blaze,

I want to do this, minus the part about the dates. How do I create a field to which I can assign this code? I'm just wanting to copy the parent-issue's Confluence links down to the sub-tasks upon creation.

Thanks!

Hi Isaac,

You should add a SIL post-function on the Create Issue transition with your SIL code and publish the workflow.

You should add your code inside an if block, to execute only for subtasks:

if(!isNull(parent)) { ... }

Kind Regards,

Alex
