Conditionally Copy Values to Parent from Subtask w/ ScriptRunner Post-Function

Andrew Fluck

So I have been reading Q&A in the community for days now in the hopes that I'd be able to muddle through this 'simple' post-function script. I have finally decided that I need to ask the community for help.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

I have a parent task with multiple sub-tasks. In the sub-task workflow, I would like a custom script post-function which evaluates the issue type name, and based on that name, then assigns the current date to a specific custom field in the parent issue. Also, based on the issue type name, the status the sub-task is transitioning to is assigned to a specific custom field in the parent issue.

I was thinking this would be a good application for using 'switch'. Below is what I have so far, and I'm sure it's way off base. Any help would be appreciated. I've commented-out some of the lines as I've tried working through this.

Thanks!

Hi Andrew,

I've slightly modified your script. Can you give it a try?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import java.sql.Timestamp

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def parentIssue = issue.getParentObject()
def PCF1 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("PCF1")
def PCF2 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("PCF2")
def PCF3 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("PCF3")
def PCF4 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("PCF4")
def timeStamp = new Timestamp(new java.util.Date().time)

def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()

switch (issue.issueType.name) {
case "Name X":
        PCF1.updateValue(null, parentIssue, new ModifiedValue(parentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(PCF1), issue.getStatus()), changeHolder)
        PCF2.updateValue(null, parentIssue, new ModifiedValue(parentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(PCF2), timeStamp), changeHolder)
break

    case "Name Y":
        PCF3.updateValue(null, parentIssue, new ModifiedValue(parentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(PCF3), issue.getStatus()), changeHolder)
        PCF4.updateValue(null, parentIssue, new ModifiedValue(parentIssue.getCustomFieldValue(PCF4), timeStamp), changeHolder)
break
}
