How to copy fixVersion from one ticket to another using plugin?

[Eva]

So i have a post-function plugin that pretty much synchronize fields from one ticket to another. The problem I have is copying the latest fixVersion from ticketA to ticketB.

I read the post on SO, and I kinda follow his code but that doesnt work for me. No matter what I do, the fixVErsion remains unchanged.

My code is below. Let me konw if anyone knows how to fix this!

ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true);
MutableIssue issueToBe = issueManager.getIssueObject(internalIssue.getId());		
issueToBe.setFixVersions(prodIssue.getFixVersions());
issueToBe.store();
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(false);

Use IssueService to update the issue and see if it works.

Hmm, i will try later tonight. But it doesnt make sense that it works for other "Jira fields" like description, but not fixversion.

Actually, it does. Description is stored in the jiraissue table itself but fixversion, components etc are stored in different tables and has relation to the jiraissue table. In the above case, you are only storing the jira issue which is not enough.

IssueService on the other hand will do everything behind the scenes for you.
