Issues created in groovy not being reindexed

[Alex Christensen]

I'm trying to create a script that creates several tasks automatically when a new Epic is created. I've created a post-function groovy script using Script Runner and I'm able to create the issues successfully.

The problem I'm running into is that the new issues don't appear to be reindexed. I believe this is because I'm taking the following approach when creating a new issue in the script.

• Create a new issue with a summary, priority, reporter, component, and couple custom field values.
• In order to override the default assignee because of component leads, I have to then update the new issue after it's created with the appropriate assignee. I think this is where I'm running into issues - is there another way to work around for this in groovy?

Like I said, I can create the issues and the assignees are correct. However, the issues appear in the Issue Navigator as Unassigned, even though they have an assignee set correctly. If I open one of the new issues and go back to the Issue Navigator, the Assignee appears correctly in the Issue Navigator. The same is the case if I reindex the project, but I don't want to reindex the whole project every time I create a new epic.

Here is my current script. Any suggestions to help here are greatly appreciated! :)

Hi Alex, 

Did you try to change the order of the post function, I think you should put it first. 

Can you please let me know if this does the trick ?

Kind regards, 

Thanos

Hey, Thanos - thanks for the response. Yes, I did try this. Unfortunately, there was no change.

I think this is because I'm changing the assignee value after each issue is created, so there's no event or post-function that tells the system to reindex the issue I just updated. Still haven't been able to find a way to reindex an issue or set of issues in my groovy script.
