Transition post-function for a Sub-Task

Sadath Ali Syed

We have a requirement where a sub-task of current issue should be transitioned. If a new sub-task is opened in the current issue with same EmpID, we want to close/transition the existing sub-task with same EmpID. We tried few JMWE post-funtions with no luck. We currently have JMWE, JSU and Project automation available. Any help with this issue will be highly appreciated.

Hi @Sadath Ali Syed

you can achieve this using JMWE. On the Create transition of your sub-task workflow, you should add a Transition Related Issues post-function, configured as follows:

Transition(s): the Close transition to trigger on the other sub-task
Target Issue(s): "Issues returned by the following Groovy script:"
Groovy Script:

issue.parentObject?.subTaskObjects?.findAll{issue != it && it.get("EmpID") == issue.get("EmpID")}

Hello @Sadath Ali Syed

What is "EmpID"? Is that a custom field? If so, what type of field is it?

I think it might be possible to do this with Automation, but to work out the details I need to know what EmpID is.

Sadath Ali Syed

@Trudy P Claspill EmpID is a custom field of type 'Text Field (single line)'

What type of data is entered in the field? Are spaces or non-alphanumeric characters ever included?

What version of Jira are you using and what version of Automation?

I work with Jira Cloud. I might be able to work out a solution in Automation there, but that doesn't guarantee that the same functionality would be supported on Jira Server Automation

EmpIDs entered are alpha-numeric. Most of them enters it as abc123. However, few enter them as abc 123 (with space). We dont have validators/restrictions in place. Our Jira version is 8.13 server. Version of Automation for Jira is 7.3.3.
