I want to copy comment from one issue to linked issue only when I add comment on screen at the time of resolving first issue. I am using custom post script.

 

Can you please help .how to use groovy for that

Hello,

we add some phrases to comments written during a transition in our workflows. Our biggest problem was to get the information if a comment has been written on the transition screen. With the following code you can get the information you need.

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

// Manager
def cm = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

currComments = cm.getComments(issue)

if (!currComments.isEmpty()) {
 currComment = currComments.get(currComments.size()-1)
 if (issue.getUpdated() <= currComment.getUpdated()) {
  log.debug "There is a comment during transition."
 } else {
  log.debug "There is no comment during transition."
 }
}

I hope this helps to solve your problem. Now you can add something to the comment or use it for whatever you like.

EDIT: I missed an important information for my answer.

You have to put this code in the post-function section of your workflow transition after the step "Add a comment to an issue if one is entered during a transition."
If you just add this code, it will be added on top and then you have to move it below the step. You can't access the new comment earlier.
