create issue on trasition

Peter Novak

I want to create new issue (not subtask) automatically on WF transition. Is there a free plugin to create a new issue of a specific type in a specific project (not the same) and copy fields like summary, description, screenshots and link them together?

Thank you

No coding is required with script runner, see https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Built-In+Scripts#Built-InScripts-Clonesanissueandlinks

Yes, you can use Exocet-Lite. See

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.valiantys.jira.plugins.exocet.jira-plugin-exocet

or if you like to script it you could use script runner Plugin:

Hi Peter,

What you truely need is this plugin :

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.jira.cot

It works like a charm, but it's not free.

Best regards,

Peter

Hey Peter,

You can also use a plugin called Create On Transition . you can have a look at the plugin here:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.swift.jira.cot

no i cant, its paid. and old version creates only subtasks in the same project

you can create your own postfunction using jira api and java or you can write postfunction using script runner plugin as @ Udo Brand suggested

i tried to use this post function. But when i set different project and different issue type (that doesnt have all custom fields as parent) --- it doesnt work on jira (v6.0.6#6105

Bharadwaj Jannu

ComponentAccessor comAcc=new ComponentAccessor();

IssueManager issueManager2 = comAcc.getIssueManager();

ComponentAccessor comAcc=new ComponentAccessor();

IssueManager issueManager2 = comAcc.getIssueManager();

IssueFactory issueFactory2 = comAcc.getIssueFactory();

ProjectManager projManager = comAcc.getProjectManager();

JiraAuthenticationContext authenticationContext2 = comAcc.getJiraAuthenticationContext();

IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = comAcc.getIssueLinkManager();

MutableIssue issueObject2 = issueFactory2.getIssue();

Project projObj = projManager.getProjectObjByKey("IETTU");// you need to give the project key of the issue you want to create

issueObject2.setProjectId(projObj.getId());

issueObject2.setIssueTypeId("3");// specify the issue type id you want

issueObject2.setReporterId(authenticationContext2.getLoggedInUser().getName());

issueObject2.setSummary("[JIRA-generated] "+issue.getSummary());

issueObject2.setPriorityObject(issue.getPriorityObject());

MutableIssue myissue =issue;

try

{

Issue newTask = issueManager2.createIssueObject(authenticationContext2.getLoggedInUser(), issueObject2);

issue=myissue;

issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(),newTask.getId(),(long)10090,(long)0,authenticationContext2.getLoggedInUser()); //10011->jiraLinkType(Depends)

}

catch(Exception e)

{

e.printStackTrace();

}

I customized some of my code which can create a new issue and link with the current issue.

you write this as a workflow postfunction and put in the transition you want.

To have a complete list, let me mention JJupin (paid). However, does much more than a simple add of an issue ....

wow thanks. please can you help me with implementing this into jira? should i save this in some file (what file extension? .py ?) I see "Script Post-Function" choice in post functions of transition - and there i can put path to file with script. PLease what are the next steps to use this script you posted? thank you very much
