[ScriptRunner] update a sub-task(s) field 'x' value if parent ticket field 'x' value updated

Sam_ul1apk

Hi,

I would like to write a groovy script for that but I'm new to groovy and I'm not sure where to start.

I'm thinking about an auto-update or popup to decide which fields you would like to update.

 

Thanks for any suggestions

Hello @Sam

You can create Script listener, that will be triggers when your X field changes and update subtasks issues if they exist.

To create listener go Add-ons -> Script Listener ->Add -> Custom listener

Choose project you need, event Issue Updated (that means that listener will be triggered every time issues in you project updates)

And add script, for example:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "your X field name"}
if (change) {
log.debug "Value changed from ${change.oldstring} to ${change.newstring}"
    // your actions if the field has changed
    def subtasks = event.issue.getSubTaskObjects()
def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("your X field name")
if (subtasks){
        subtasks.each {it ->
            ((MutableIssue) it).setCustomFieldValue(customField, change.newstring)
            ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(event.user, ((MutableIssue) it), EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
        }
    }
}

 do not forget to correct code with your fieldnames.
