workflow post-function: creating subtask for each user of group

Michael Michael27

Hey,

i need a workflow post-function which creates a subtask for each user of a jira-group (given by a usergroup-customfield) and assign it to him/her. does anybody have a solution for this problem?

i was thinking about the groovyrunner-plugin, but obviously you need to create an own groovy-script for this purpose, which i am not capable of... :-/

thank you very much in advance!

cheers,
michael

Can't think of anything which you would not need to code. Here's a script that should work:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.opensymphony.user.Group
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.config.SubTaskManager
import org.ofbiz.core.entity.GenericValue

ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueFactory = componentManager.getIssueFactory()
def issueManager = componentManager.getIssueManager()
def indexManager = componentManager.getIndexManager()

def groupCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("GroupPicker") // name of group CF

Group group = issue.getCustomFieldValue(groupCf) as Group

if (group) {
    group.getUsers().each {String user ->

        MutableIssue newIssue = issueFactory.getIssue()
        newIssue.summary = "Sub-task for $user"
        newIssue.issueTypeId = '5'
        newIssue.project = issue.project
        newIssue.affectedVersions = issue.affectedVersions
        newIssue.fixVersions = issue.fixVersions

        Map<String,Object> newIssueParams = ["issue":newIssue] as Map<String,Object>
        def currentUser = componentManager.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
        GenericValue newIssueGv = issueManager.createIssue(currentUser, newIssueParams)
        indexManager.reIndex(newIssueGv);

        SubTaskManager subTaskManager = componentManager.getSubTaskManager()
        subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue, newIssue, componentManager.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser())
    }
}

Thank you very much, Jamie!

Just one more question: To implement this code I have to create a groovy-script-file on the server and then refer to it in the post-function "script component", right? Is it sufficient to put just this code into the file or do i have to use a any class-construct like it is the case for the other groovy file examples?

JamieA

Hi, no it's sufficent to just paste into a file exactly as is.

Michael Michael27

Hi Jamie,

just one more question: Why doesn't the subtask appear in the "assign to me" gadget?
How can I assure that?

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Michael

I seem to have missed a critical line from the script I wrote for you:

newIssue.assigneeId = user

Put that line along with the other setters...

Michael Michael27

Hi Jamie,

thanks for your fast respone. Unfortunately this doesnt work. Maybe it is because if have modified your script simply. it does look like this now:

do i miss something here?

JamieA

Can you put the whole script on gist.github.com? I can't see your script...

Joe Polcari

SO does this this look like a correct transition using the above script?

Add a new post function to the unconditional result of the transition.

Set issue status to the linked status of the destination workflow step.

— THEN

Add a comment to an issue if one is entered during a transition.

— THEN

Script /opt/atlassian/jira/myscripts/CreateSubtaskForEachGroupMember.groovy will be run.
Edit | Move Up | Move Down | Delete

— THEN

Update change history for an issue and store the issue in the database.

— THEN

Re-index an issue to keep indexes in sync with the database.

— THEN

Fire a Issue Assigned event that can be processed by the listeners.
Edit

Also, I'm not sure I understand the addition/modification.

This is what I have for the complete script. Is it correct because if I try to execute it in the groovy script plugin manager, I get a very long stack trace. The short version is

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script3.groovy: 8: unable to resolve class com.opensymphony.user.User @ line 8, column 1. import com.opensymphony.user.User ^ Script3.groovy: 9: unable to resolve class com.atlassian.core.user.UserUtils @ line 9, column 1. import com.atlassian.core.user.UserUtils ^ Script3.groovy: 4: unable to resolve class com.opensymphony.user.Group @ line 4, column 1. import com.opensymphony.user.Group ^ 3 error

I haven't finished my workflow yet so I don't know if it will work in it.

BTW - I'm a new Jira user and I'm designing my first workflow.

Hello, you script don`t work in JIRA 5.0.7. Help me, please.

Error:
