Hi @Mani,

you are almost there, your current script is running for the issue on which event(transition) is happened. you just need to get it's parent object

I'm attaching updated script for your reference

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()

if(issue.getIssueType().name == "Sub-task"){  //used to check sub-task or not if workflow is same if not you can remove this condition
     def parent = issue.getParentObject()  // getting parent object
     ApplicationUser user = issue.getAssignee() // getting sub-tasks assignee
     watcherManager.stopWatching(user, parent) // remove sub-task assignee from parent's watcher list

} 

 NOTE: I'm just removing Done sub-tasks assignee from parent's watcher list not all

Hope it helps you

BR,
Leo

Hi @Leo ,

Thanks for the script.

sub-task watcher is getting removed once one of the sub-task is moved to Done. But in my case assignee should be removed from the watcher field only if all sub-tasks moved to Done assigned on his/her name.

Thanks in advance,

Mani

It's little tricky, we need to iterate over all sub-tasks of parent and check the status and assignee of each, I just modified something in above script. mostly this should do the job for you

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
if(issue.getIssueType().name == "Sub-task"){
    def allDone = true
    ApplicationUser user = issue.getAssignee()
    def parent = issue.getParentObject()
    parent.getSubTaskObjects()?.each { subtask -> 
        if(subtask.getAssignee() == user && subtask.getStatus().name != "Done" && subtask != issue)
        {
            allDone = false
        }
    }
    if(allDone){
        watcherManager.stopWatching(user, parent)
    } 
}

BR,

Hello @Mani ,

with the default features of the postfunction in the workflows, i am not 100% sure that you can achieve it. However, if you have scriptrunner addon installed you could implement a simple script to do this functionallity.

This link below may help you, as a guide:

Hi @Christos Moysiadis

I placed below script in the sub-task Done transition, but it is removing watchers from the sub-task issues, i want to remove watchers from the parent issue type.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def locale = ComponentAccessor.getLocaleManager().getLocaleFor(user)

def watcherManager = ComponentAccessor.getWatcherManager()
def watchers = watcherManager.getWatchers(issue, locale)

watchers.each { watcher ->;
    watcherManager.stopWatching(watcher, issue)
}

For Example - 3 sub-tasks are assigned on my name once all sub-tasks are moved to Done, my name should not be there on the parent watcher list.

Thanks in advance,

Manikanta
