Scripted Field to copy custom field from Linked Issues

Avinash_xkiqtr

I am trying to copy the value of a custom field from the linked issue. It works good with one to one link but doesnt work when they have the same issue linked to multiple issues. Example: Ab is the project where the scripted field is present, XY is a project where the value is present when Ab-1 and Ab-2 has link with XY-1 the script works for only Ab-1 but Ab-2 is null.  Any help appreciated

Here is a script that will copy the values from a Custom Field into the Linked Issues' Custom Fields:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.option.Option

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def issue = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey('JRA-2') // change this to match your main issue key
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName('MultiSelectA')[0] // change this to match your custom field name

def customFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters()

def linkedIssues = issueLinkManager.getLinkCollection(issue, currentUser).getAllIssues()

for (int i = 0; i < linkedIssues.size(); i++) {
log.debug("Updating issue: ${linkedIssues[i]}")

// This is for the Multi Select List. It will change if you work with another type of Custom Field
    // For example, you won't have to loop through a text field, you would just pass what was in customFieldValue
    def values = customFieldValue.collect{ Option option ->
        option.optionId.toString()
    }

    issueInputParameters.with {
        addCustomFieldValue(customField.idAsLong, *values) // *values is something Groovy does to destruct a list  into plain arguments
    }

def updateValidationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(currentUser, linkedIssues[i].id, issueInputParameters)

if (updateValidationResult.isValid()) {
def finalUpdateResult = issueService.update(currentUser, updateValidationResult)
log.debug(finalUpdateResult.errorCollection)
log.debug(finalUpdateResult.warningCollection.getWarnings())
log.debug(finalUpdateResult.isValid())
    } else {
log.debug(updateValidationResult.errorCollection)
log.debug(updateValidationResult.warningCollection.getWarnings())
    }

}
