Set Parent ID programatically

sahan kanuwana

I have a requirement to provide parent ID when the jira issue is created programatically.

When I set the parent ID, my issue (sub task/sub bug) has to be created under the given parent ID issue.

Any idea, how can I do this.

I jsut set the issue id long value to my newly creatin issue. But nothing happens.

issue.parentID(my_parent_Id's_ID);

Sahan,

you need to use the subtaskmanager https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/server/com/atlassian/jira/config/SubTaskManager.html

there are a lot of post in the community with code sample, for example:

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-do-I-programmatically-convert-an-issue-to-a-subtask-of/qaq-p/553198

If you need more help I think I have a working snippet somewhere

Not sure where you got "parentID" from, but it's not going to work because you might not have it until later if you are running this on "create"

Try using the issue object for the parent:

newSubTask.setParentObject(issue)

Hi Gaston,

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(Issue parent, Issue subTask, User user) API. It says NoSuchMethod.

And, For Nic, I jsut tried. It creates the sub task issue seperately. But it doesn't create the subtask under the parent issue.

I do reindex after issue creation too.

Am I doing something wrong..

Thanks Gaston.

I managed to do your way with reflections. That worked!

Thank you both!!!

HI Gaston,

Please share... My code not working. Tried a lot..

Sahan,

This code worked for me:

private void convertToSubtask(MutableIssue issue, Issue parentIssue)
{
 SubTaskManager subTaskManager = ComponentAccessor.getSubTaskManager()
 issue.setProjectObject(parentIssue.getProjectObject())
 issue.setIssueTypeObject( subTaskManager.getSubTaskIssueType( this.defaultSubtaskId ) )
 issue.setParentId(parentIssue.getId())
 issue.store()

 subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(parentIssue, issue, this.runAs)

 //reindex
 this.reindexIssue(issue)
}

Keep in mind what Nick said about the timing...

Great Thanks Gaston. I will try that and let you know how it goes.
