[Scriptrunner] When I clone issue I wanna include comments to cloned issue.

Stanislav Caja

Hello, 

The problem we are having is with a cloning issue. From now on, we have a script that will set new description on cloned issue. What we would like to achiev is that comments in original issue would be cloned either. Here is our script. The part with description works fine. Problem is with comments, there are no errors but comments won't show.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor. getIssueLinkManager()
def result = "Original issue"
def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

def commentsList = commentManager.getComments(issue)

for (IssueLink link in linkMgr.getOutwardLinks(issue.id))
{
if( link.issueLinkType.name == "Cloners")
{
def newDescription = ("{color:red}Don't modify this description - edit the original (cloned) issue instead and the description gets copied here. {color}\n\n" + link.getDestinationObject().description) as String
issue.setDescription(newDescription)
issue.store()
result = "Branched issue"

for(def i = 0; i <= commentsList.size()-1; i++)
{
def comment = commentsList.get(i)
commentManager.create(issue,comment.getAuthorApplicationUser(),comment.getBody(),true)
issue.store()
}


}
}
return result

 

 

I am really looking forward for you answer.

Best regards,

Stanislava Caja.

Hi Stanislava,

What ScriptRunner version are you running? Writing a script to copy comments to a cloned issue does not seem like something you need to do, because this is already a feature in ScriptRunner. You can add a Script Post-Function for "Clone an Issue and Links." On that page, you can simply check the "Copy Comments" box, which will automatically copy comments from the original issue to the cloned issue. You can put your script to set the description in the "Additional Actions" box.
