Auto create subtasks based on transitions

[Joey Klein]

I have three statuses in a workflow with 6 subtasks each.  i want to create the subtasks upon transition.  i found this https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/create-sub-tasks-when-an-issue-is-created but its marked as cloud.  will this work on server?  my plan is to add the script separately to each transition.

There's a lot of code there, I'm struggling to work through what it is trying to do.

If I were to cut it down to the bare bones though, all you really need in a post-function is below.  You don't need to set the status, that happens automatically on creation, and you should be able to add setDescription("") to this as well.

def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {
setProjectId(issue.projectObject.id)
setIssueTypeId(subTaskIssueType.id)
setReporterId(reporter.key)
setSummary(summary)

}

def validationResult = issueService.validateSubTaskCreate(loggedInUser, issue.id, issueInputParameters)
assert validationResult.valid : validationResult.errorCollection

def issueResult = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)
assert issueResult.valid : issueResult.errorCollection

I'm close.... any thoughts on why this isnt working?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with

{
setProjectId(issue.projectObject.id)
setIssueTypeId(subTaskIssueType.id)
setReporterId(reporter.key)
setsummary('SPS Project team recruitment', 'SPS Project team introductory meeting', 'Location selection', 'Introductory Location meeting', 'SPS Project team review of interviews')
}

def validationResult = issueService.validateSubTaskCreate(loggedInUser, issue.id, issueInputParameters)
assert validationResult.valid : validationResult.errorCollection

def issueResult = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)
assert issueResult.valid : issueResult.errorCollection

Er, you can't set five summaries for a single issue. 

You need to look through this 5 times, changing the summary on each iteration

[Joey Klein]

in the original script above (with all the extra stuff) we defined a list of summaries and that worked.  trying to figure out what i can cut out of that one to make it work but NOT have it run for epics. 

def listOfsummaries = ['Subtask summary 1', 'Subtask summary 2'] // The summaries to use for
def issueType = "Sub-task" // The Sub Task Issue Type to Use

// Get the sub task issue type to use
//def issueTypeId = issueTypes.find { it.subtask && it.name == issueType }?.id
//assert issueTypeId: "No subtasks issue type found called '${issueType}'"

// Get the project to create the subtask in
//def project = (issue.fields as Map).project

listOfsummaries.forEach { summary ->
// Create the subtask

IssueInputParameters issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters();
issueInputParameters.setProjectId(destinationProjectId)
.setIssueTypeId(subTaskIssueTypeId)
.setSummary(summary)
//.setReporterId(reporterId)

Yes, your original script had a loop in it, which you have re-implemented here, so it'll go through several creations.

But you've commented out all the stuff that works out other parameters you need in the create.

To avoid this running for Epics, look at the issue type for the current issue first, and exit if it's Epic

ok thanks. I'll keep plugging

Hi @Joey Klein  yes script runner add-on is available for Jira cloud as well for Jira server version.

You can write separate script to create sub-task at particular transition for your workflow.

You can search more about it on https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Thanks!

Best,

Narendra

Thanks @Narendra Kumar , appreciate the fast response.  I have the app for server.  I was referring specifically to the script i pasted which says its for cloud.
