Groovy - how to check if an issue is a sub-task

[Graeme Johnson]

Hi

I am building a custom scripted validator in Groovy and within my script I need to identify whether the current issue is a type of sub-task.  Is there a way I can check this?

Hi @Graeme Johnson 

The sure is a way to check this and it's very easy:

if( issue.issueType.subTask){
  //do something for sub-task issue types
} else {
  //do something for parent issue types
}

[Graeme Johnson]

Thanks, that worked a charm.

What if we want to check if current issue contains a particular Sub-Task named "abc" ?

[Peter-Dave Sheehan]

You could try something like this:

def abcSubtaskFound = false
if(issue.subTaskObjects){
    abcSubtaskFound = issue.subTaskObjects.any{it.issueType.name == 'abc'}
}

Or as a oneliner:

def abcSubtaskFound = issue.subTaskObjects && issue.subTaskObjects.any{it.issueType.name == 'abc'}

if we want to check - Task issue type have any open subtask(open means issue not in any done status category).

then what should be the script?

[Peter-Dave Sheehan]

Something like this should work

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.status.category.StatusCategory
issue.subTaskObjects.every{ it.status.statusCategory == StatusCategory.COMPLETE}

[Pankaj]

we want to do for Task Issue Type while moving to close transition:

Error would be displayed if the task have any open subtasks. (open meaning issue not in any done status category)

Error Message: "All open subtasks needs to be closed"

------------x------------------x-------------x---------------------x---------------------

I have tried this one but, it is also giving an error when all subtasks status are  "Done".

import com.opensymphony.workflow.InvalidInputException;

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.status.category.StatusCategory

def issueType = issue.issueType.name == "Task"

if(issueType){

if (issue.subTaskObjects.every{ it.status.statusCategory != StatusCategory.COMPLETE})

 {

    InvalidInputException error = new InvalidInputException()

    error.addError("All open subtasks needs to be closed")

    throw error;

 }

}

[Peter-Dave Sheehan]

I think you want either 

if(issue.subTaskObjects.every{ it.status.statusCategory == StatusCategory.COMPLETE}) return null
throw new InvalidInputException('All open subtasks need to be closed')

Or

if(issue.subTaskObjects.any{ it.status.statusCategory != StatusCategory.COMPLETE}){
   throw new InvalidInputException('All open subtasks need to be closed')
}

But what you have right now will throw an error only if ALL (every) subtasks are open. If a single one is closed, the validation will pass.
