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
}

Thanks, that worked a charm.

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

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'}
