Scriptrunner Create Subtask for a task which is created by "Clones an issue, and links"

Nazimuddin Mohammed

Created a Task in a different project by using "Clones an issue, and links" with the following Additional issue actions.

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Epic Name'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, 'Cloned Issue Epic Name' + sourceIssue.key + ': ' + sourceIssue.summary)

issue.summary = 'Cloned Issue ' + sourceIssue.key + ': ' + sourceIssue.summary

 The issue is created successfully and also linked with Issue link type "relates to".

Once this new issue is cloned and created, I would three subtasks to be created for the newly created issue by adding some actions to the existing script. 

How can this be achieved?

Hi Nazimuddin,

You can't add the subtask in the same script as technically the new issue won't have been created yet. So passing the .setParentId() method the new issue id won't work as it does not exist until the script finishes. 

Therefore the only way to do this would be to add another postfunction directly after that identifies the newly created issue and adds subtasks to it.

I have done something similar before and this is the code I used: 

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;

def constantManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory()
def subTaskManager = ComponentAccessor.getSubTaskManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

def summariesList = ["Summary 1", "Summary 2", "Summary 3"]
Issue issue = issue
def newIssue = getNewIssue(issue, "is cloned by", issue.summary)
if(!newIssue) return null
summariesList.each {
    MutableIssue newSubTask = issueFactory.getIssue()
    newSubTask.setAssigneeId(newIssue.assigneeId)
    newSubTask.setSummary(it)
    newSubTask.setParentObject(newIssue)
    newSubTask.setProjectObject(newIssue.getProjectObject())
    newSubTask.setIssueTypeId(constantManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects().find{ it.getName() == "Sub-task"}.id)
// Add any other fields you want for the newly created sub task
    def newIssueParams = ["issue" : newSubTask] as Map<String,Object>
    issueManager.createIssueObject(user, newIssueParams)
    subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(newIssue, newSubTask, user)
}


public static def getNewIssue(Issue issue, def linkTypeName, def mainIssueSummary) {
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
    Collection<IssueLink> issueLinks = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id).findAll { issueLink ->
        issueLink.issueLinkType.inward == linkTypeName
    }
def newIssue = issueLinks.find{it.destinationObject.summary == mainIssueSummary}.sourceObject

   return newIssue
} 

Hopefully this will help you out.

Let me know if you have any issues.
