Reading result data from asynchronousTaskResult (IssueService.clone() api method)

Bhaskara Yandava

I have a groovy script that clones an issue using issueService.clone(user, validationResult) method. I am unable to find a way to read the result or handling the task completion notification from the current documentation. My use case is to wait until the clone operation is complete and get the clone issue key/object.

Any help is appreciated.

Hello @Bhaskara Yandava

The thing is, that issueService.clone() itself returns AsynchronousTaskResult that have method isValid() which returns results of clone.

ref 

https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.2.1/com/atlassian/jira/bc/issue/IssueService.html

And here is some example for you

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("TEST-1")
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("some_custom_field_object")
Map<CustomField, Optional<Boolean>> map = [:]
map.put(cf, Optional.of(true))
def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()
def issueCloneValidationResult = issueService.validateClone(user, issue, "Some summary", true, true, true,map)
if (issueCloneValidationResult.isValid()){
def cloneResult = issueService.clone(user, issueCloneValidationResult)
if(cloneResult.isValid()){
log.error("Clone successful")
    }
else{
log.error("There are some errors during cloning"+ cloneResult.getErrorCollection().getErrorMessages())
    }
}

Hope it helps!
