Jira Cloud Scriptrunner link issue on create

Alex Piwowar

Im working on a Jira workflow post function that creates an issue. Im trying to add an update so that when it creates the new issue it also links it to the original issue.

When I run it this error keeps coming back

                ]
            ]
    ])
.asString()<br><br>

Im pretty new to this and from other posts Ive seen this should work. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Hi Alexander,

This error is a static type checking warning which indicates that the script does not understand the issue key and this may be due to the fact that you specified this before the post function which creates the issue meaning it may not be able to understand the issue key.

Could you please try using the example which I shared previosuly as this has been tested and contains no static type checking errors.

This example will create a new issue and link to it and is the recommend approach which we recomend using.

Could you please try the example we provided and if it solves your requirement accept this answer to mark it as correct for other users searching for a similar solution.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi Alexandar,

Thank you for your question.

Can I please ask if you are trying to clone an issue and link the cloned issue to the original issue during a workflow transition?

If this is the case then we provide a built in workflow postfunction inside of ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud called Clone Issue which is described inside of the documentation page located here.

We would recomend using this built in post function to achieve your requirement as you will be able to add it to the transition in the workflow where you need to clone the issue and will be able to conigure its form to specify the issue link type that should be used to link the issues.

Using the built in function will mean that it will be maintained as the Atlassian API changes meaning that it will continue to work when the API Changes and will not require yourself to make any manual script changes.

We also provide example scripts of how to update and how to link and issue inside the Run Script post function which are shown below the code box next to the examples link and you will be able to use the examples to see how to update and issue and to link an issue together using code in order to help you to write a custom script if you require one.

If this response has answered your question can you please mark it as accepted so that other users can see it is correct when searching for similar answers.

Regards,

Kristian

Hi Kristian,

I do not wish to clone the issue. I wish to create a new issue that only contains certain fields from the original issue. I am able to successfully create a new issue and copy the fields I want. The problem is that I cannot create the issue links.

Hi Alexander,

Can you please try looking at the example code which we have which shows how to create issue links and use this code inside of your script to create the issue links.

You can access this example code by adding in a Run Script post function and clicking the examples link below the code box and then the Link Issue link which populate the code box with example code on how to link two issues together.

You will then be able to take this code and add into your script and to modify it to link the issues together.

Regards,

Kristian

I see the example. Is it not possible to create the link under this post command?

post(<span>"/rest/api/2/issue"</span>)

Im creating a new issue so I have the outward issue id but I dont have the id or key for the new issue I just created.

i see, the issue was that I didnt do .asObject(Map) for the create issue post.

The logs also threw an error about the outwardIssue not having a key so I changed id to key and it worked.

Thanks for the help!!!

where can I find more resources about what things like .asobject() or .asString() do?

Hi Alexander,

Thankyou for confirming that your issue has been resolved .

I would suggest that you use the documentation site and the Jira cloud rest API site as help references to learn what APIs to use.

You may also find looking for an online groovy programming useful as this will teach you the groovy language which ScriptRunner uses.

Kristian
