After create on transition I need to add only the latest attachement to the newly created issue.

Question

Hello,

from diverse questions and answers found here, I tried to solve my question with the following script. But no attachment gets attached. I guess, the way to address the newly created issue is dead wrong, but what shall I change here? We use 6.4.12 ...

Thanks in advance,

Maud

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;

def Category log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.PostFunction");
log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG);

// Key of old issue with attachment
Issue issueKey = issue
def id = issueKey.getId()
// Key of new issue (which shall get attachment)
// !!! NOT OK.
def linkedIssueKeyList = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getID())
def linkcounter = linkedIssueKeyList.size()
def lastlinkedIssueKey = linkedIssueKeyList[linkcounter].getId()

// User
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser().name

// Managerservice for attachements
def attachmentManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager()

// today
def today = new Date()

// Last attachement
def attachmentPathManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentPathManager().attachmentPath.toString()
def fileName = issueKey.attachments.last()?.filename.toString()
def fileType = issueKey.attachments.last()?.mimetype.toString()
def fileId = issueKey.attachments.last()?.id

// Construct path for attachement
def currentIssue = issue.toString()
def projectKey = currentIssue.replaceAll("[^A-Z]", "").toString();
def path = attachmentPathManager + "/" + projectKey + "/" + currentIssue + "/" + fileId + "/"
File filePath = new File(path.toString())

// issue that shall get attachement
Issue newIssue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(lastlinkedIssueKey)

// Any attachment there? Then use it
if (fileName != null) {
    attachmentManager.createAttachmentCopySourceFile(filePath, fileName, fileType, user, newIssue, null, today)
}

Hello again,

so I dismissed the create-on-Transition completely and instead do this (right after the indexing):

//für Datumsvergleich
Import com.atlassian.gzipfilter.org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils 
//für Pop-up-Nachricht 
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil
def cf_abw_zsf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(sourceIssue).find {it.name == 'Zusammenfassung der Abweichung'} 
issue.summary = sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf_abw_zsf)
def cf_abw_schritte = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(sourceIssue).find {it.name == 'Testschritte der Abweichung'} 
def cf_abw_erwerg = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(sourceIssue).find {it.name == 'Erwartetes Ergebnis der Abweichung'}
 def cf_abw_taterg = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(sourceIssue).find {it.name == 'Testergebnis der Abweichung'} 
issue.description = 'Durchgeführte Schritte: ' + sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf_abw_schritte) + ' Erwartetes Ergebnis: ' + sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf_abw_erwerg)  + ' Tatsächliches Ergebnis: ' + sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf_abw_taterg)
def cf_abw_anzfehl = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(sourceIssue).find {it.name == 'Anzahl Fehlgeschlagen Abweichung'}
//issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf_abw_anzfehl, "0");
//nur Anhänge von heute und vom selben User mitkopieren 
checkAttachment = {attachment -> 
    (DateUtils.isSameDay(new Date(attachment.created.time), new Date()) && attachment.authorKey == issue.reporter) }
//Keine Links mitkopieren 
checkLink = {link -> false}
UserMessageUtil.success('Abweichung erstellt')

As you see, I have commented line 12 because that is still incorrect (am not yet sure, why), but the closure is now "all Attachements from today from the current user" - right? So still not the last one? Any further hint?

Thanks again - I haven't been coding that much for many years so this is some exciting challenge.

I am currently struggling with variants of this like:

checkAttachment = {attachment ->  
 (DateUtils.getDuration((new Date() - new Date(attachment.created.time)) <= 7200) && (attachment.authorKey == issue.reporter)) }

but can't get it working. Would appreciate your help very much here

Well, create-on-transition only either copies all or no attachments, so I have an additional ScriptRunner script added as another post-function. 
But your sample could be what I want - will check this and come back to you. Thanks for your help.

Isn't this a question about the create-on-transition function? If so I don't know much about it.

ScriptRunner has a clone issue function which can accomplish the same thing, there you can provide a closure to control which attachments are copied to the new issue: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_control_of_cloning_attachments

The closure would be something like:

import com.atlassian.gzipfilter.org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtils

checkAttachment = { Attachment attachment ->
    DateUtils.isSameDay(new Date(attachment.created.time), new Date())
}
