how to create recurring tasks (auto-clone/create tickets) using script runner Edited

[Lakshmi S]

Hello Team,

  On the Reporting Team in Analytics Support our team clones >100 Jira tickets on a weekly basis for task work and it is a big time waster when it comes to manual inputs. As per the scriptrunner docs, i used Services and Escalation service to achieve this. Could anyone please suggest me on this.

Escalation service won't work, you can only change existing Issues this way.

What about Services? Did you set it up? What problems you had with it?

Hi @Damian Wodzinski ,

   I didnt get in the documents how to do this through service. Can you please let me know if you have any idea on this.

Put a groovy file on the server, then you need to point where is it placed. For example:
 /var/atlassian/application-data/jira/import

Then point a file by typing its name. If script works, it will fire up automatically based on the configuration you set.

Thank you @Damian Wodzinski , Can we create more than 150 tickets with this script ?

[Damian Wodzinski]

You can create as many as you want to, just make sure the srcipt does that. Script above will create only one.
