Changing the issue type with groovy

[dy raffy]

Hi,

I would like to change the issue type from "Bug" to "support" with a groovyscript when a user clicks on a transition "Start Progress". How can I get "this Issue" in a Postfunction? and which objects do I need?

P.S.: both issue types use the same workflow.

Tanks for your help,

Raffy

As stated in comments - you should be sure that issue types share field configuration and at the least workflow states. For details look at implementation of com.atlassian.jira.web.action.issue.MoveIssue* actions.

If you search for scriptrunner examples, you would find out that issue is accessible as 'issue', so

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def newIssueType = ComponentAccessor.issueTypeSchemeManager.getIssueTypesForProject(issue.projectObject).find{it.name=="support"}
if (newIssueType) issue.setIssueTypeObject(newIssueType)

UPDATE 2015-07-15: corrected code as suggested below by @Joe Smith

Thanks Jozef,

I am sure that the workflow and the field configuration scheme are the same.

Hi Jozef,

your solution is pretty much coller than my solution:

import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.issuetype.IssueType
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueImpl

/* Define a Logger */
def Category log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.PostFunction")
log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)

def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()
Issue issue = issue

log.debug ("### Other method ###")
def newIssueType = ComponentAccessor.issueTypeSchemeManager.getIssueTypesForProject(issue.projectObject).find{it.name=="Task"}
log.debug newIssueType.name
if (newIssueType) issue.setIssueTypeObject(newIssueType)

log.debug issue.name
log.debug("#############################  IssueType changed from 'Bug' to 'Task' ########################################")

But Unfortunately it did not work and I get javax.script.ScriptException (s) in the log file:

[dy raffy]

Here are the errors:

nevertheless thank you very much for your Help.

[Jozef Kotlár]

your error is in line log.debug issue.name

should be log.debug issue.issueType.name

[dy raffy]

Now it works. Tanks a lot.

[Joe Smith]

jozef kotlár thanks for your example, but there it is actually slightly wrong... if (newIssueType) issue.setIssueObject(newIssueType) should be if (newIssueType) issue.setIssue*Type*Object(newIssueType) as in @dy raffy's example. Got me on the right track though. Thanks both

The solution I was locking for is:

import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.issuetype.IssueType


/* Define a Logger */
def Category log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy.PostFunction")
log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)

def constantsManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()

Issue issue = issue  // This what I was looking for :-). As simple as it is, but I didn't know that.

IssueType targetIssueType = null

log.debug "IssueType old = " + issue.issueType.name

collection = constantsManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects()
iterator = collection.iterator()
while(iterator.hasNext()){
	issueType = iterator.next()
	if(issueType.name == "Support"){
		targetIssueType = issueType
	}
}

log.debug targetIssueType.name
issue.setIssueTypeObject(targetIssueType)
log.debug "IssueType new = " + issue.issueType.name

Why should this be dangerous? It's used deliberately.

[Abyakta Lenka]

How can this be used for moving to another project ? 

[Renjith Pillai]

Looks a bit dangerous. Btw, it is not just workflow, it is also the Field Configuration Scheme that should be same for both issue types.

[dy raffy]

Yes, the Field Configuration Scheme is also the same for both issue types.
