How to copy values from Epic to Story?

[Tatiana Jancusova]

I would like to try the Behaviours add-on to copy value from a text field from epic to story. We have a script for post function but some workflows are to big and it makes the maintenance awkward.

We are using:

• JIRA server v7.2.7
• Adaptavist ScriptRunner for JIRA v4.3.19

our script for post function:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.managers.DefaultIssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
CustomFieldManager cfm = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
CustomField el = cfm.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_11571')
CustomField cpi = cfm.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_11095')
IssueManager im = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cpi, im.getIssueByCurrentKey((String)issue.getCustomFieldValue(el)).getCustomFieldValue(cpi))

 I tried to use the script from CGM, but I get an error message:

Can you help me?

Best regards,
Tatiana

Hi @Alex Kulichkov ,

please try something like this (just replace the constants with your custom field ids):

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

Long CUSTOM_FIELD_ID_1 = 10359L
Long CUSTOM_FIELD_ID_2 = 10400L

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

CustomField customField1 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(CUSTOM_FIELD_ID_1)
CustomField customField2 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(CUSTOM_FIELD_ID_2)

Float number1 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField1) as Float
Float number2 = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField2) as Float

return (number1 && number2) ? number2 / number1 * 100 : 0

Hi @Hana Kučerová,

Thank you very much, it worked perfectly! Great script example for all simple % based calculations.
