Script Runner check for existing issue

Daniel Wong

Hi I'm trying to use Groovy Runner to create an issue as part of a Post Function. However, before the post-function creates the issue, I'd like to run a search and check for existing issues with the same Summary or matching custom fields, and if found, link to that issue instead of creating a new issue.

I can't seem to find out how to do the jira search part of the script. I could probably do a JQL search in the GUI but I don't know how to translate that into script code. Any suggestions?

Here's a Java sample and you'll have to just port it to groovy:

final JqlQueryBuilder queryBuilder = JqlQueryBuilder.newBuilder();
		final JqlClauseBuilder whereBuilder = queryBuilder.where().defaultAnd();
		whereBuilder.summary().like("some summary")
		Query query = queryBuilder.buildQuery();
		User user;
		SearchResults results = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchProvider.class).search(query, user, PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter());
		List<Issue> issues = results.getIssues();
