How to set the due date of linked issue based on the value of a date custom field from the original issue?

Tsol

Hi everybody,

i'm using a post function for creating multiple issues. The original issue has a date custom field. In some of the new created issues i would like to set as due date the value of the date custom field from the original issue. At the moment i can't do it.

In some others i would like to set as due date +/- 1 day the value of the date custom field. I can;t do even that.

The date custom field i have is called: Starting date

the syntax i have used is:

issue.duedate = ${cfValues['Starting Date']}

i'm getting the following error:

The staring date field is mandatory. So there in no way to be blank

the order that i have put the functions are:

Thanx in advance,

issue.setDueDate(cfValues['Starting Date']) should copy the value of the custom field into due date of the cloned issue. Else if cfValues[...] does not return a result, you could write the following to get the custom field object: def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('Starting Date') and then use: val = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) Finally use issue.setDueDate(val)
