Problem creating sub-task through parent workflow with script runner

JPB

I have a project in which for a certain issue type, in his workflow, I create a Script Post-Function of type 'Create a sub-task' in his create transition.

In the configuration, I set the 'Target Issue Type' and a summary for the subtask, that's all.

When I create the parent issue, and the script runs, the subtask is not created, and this is the error message shown in the log:

Any ideas of what is happening??

By the way, when I have a parent issue and create the subtask manually, it is created without any problem.

Could you please add some details about the code you are using to create the subtask?

It seems that you have a null parent issue when you are going to create the subtask.

Hi Cesare, I'm not using any code at all, just the workflow post-function.
I have a project configured with some issues and subtask, and in the workflow of a parent issue, in the create transition, I just add a post function of type 'Create a sub-task', where I choose the issue type for that subtask, and give a text for the summary, that's all.

I tried the same in another project, with another issue type and workflow, but the problem is the same.

Cesare Jacopo C

The order may be wrong. Make sure that your post function is after the creation of the issue.

In doubt put it at the end.

No, that's ok, I put it after the re-index post function, this is not the first time I create a sub-task this way, actually, I did the same in other jira environments, and is working ok, the subtask is created, but in the jira instance that I'm doing it, is showing that error in the log, and the subtask in not created.

Cesare Jacopo C

Which version of Script Runner do you have?

JPB

The last one, 3.0.10. But that's not the problem, as I said before, in another testing environment works ok, but in production and other testing environments, is not working, I think there's a problem with the data of those environments that makes conflict with some script runner code.
