How to clone issue without issuelink through scriptrunner

Question

Hi, I want to clone issue which have issuelink to other issue such as "contain(WBS)", "contained in(WBS)" while trainsition issue. The part of my code is as follow import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.utils.AbstractCloneIssue import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.utils.CannedScriptUtils import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.utils.ConditionUtils import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.canned.jira.workflow.postfunctions.CloneIssue import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.ScriptRunnerImpl def TargetIssueType = null def blockIntraprojectLinks = '{link -> false}' def params = [ (CloneIssue.FIELD_TARGET_ISSUE_TYPE) : TargetIssueType, (CloneIssue.FIELD_COPY_FIELDS) : AbstractCloneIssue.COPY_ALL_FIELDS, (CloneIssue.FIELD_SELECTED_FIELDS) : null, (CloneIssue.FIELD_COPY_COMMENTS) : false, (CloneIssue.FIELD_USER_KEY) : null, (ConditionUtils.FIELD_ADDITIONAL_SCRIPT): ["checkLink = $blockIntraprojectLinks;",""] ] as Map def executionContext = [issue: originalIssue] as Map def cloneIssueAction = ScriptRunnerImpl.scriptRunner.createBean(CloneIssue) def updatedExecutionContext = cloneIssueAction.execute(params, executionContext) def newIssue = updatedExecutionContext.newIssue return newIssue but it still clone all issue information include all issuelink. I also used IssueService showed in below url to clone issue, and set "cloneLinks = false" https://library.adaptavist.com/entity/clone-issues-or-parts-of-issues-in-jira It still copy all issuelink too. Does anyone knows how to clone issue without issuelink? Thanks a lot!

Maybe you can try to exclude links where link source object is the same as your triggering object (I used project key to compare in my case):

def additionalCode = """

issue.setSummary("Cloned from: $originalIssueKey " + issue.getSummary())

checkLink = {link -> sourceObject.projectKey != $projectKeyValue}

"""

and clone issue with this checkLink

def params = [

(CloneIssue.FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT) : projectKeyValue,

(CloneIssue.FIELD_TARGET_ISSUE_TYPE) : null,

(CloneIssue.FIELD_COPY_FIELDS) : AbstractCloneIssue.COPY_ALL_FIELDS,

(CloneIssue.FIELD_SELECTED_FIELDS) : null,

(CloneIssue.FIELD_COPY_COMMENTS) : false,

(ConditionUtils.FIELD_ADDITIONAL_SCRIPT): [additionalCode, ""],

(CloneIssue.FIELD_LINK_TYPE) : linkBetweenIssues,

(CloneIssue.FIELD_USER_KEY) : null

] as Map<String, Object>

You'll need to have something in the new issue that you can tell the listener to look for as identifying it as a clone.

A really obvious, but slightly clunky trick is to have a field that you set when your clone code runs, the listener looks for it, and then clears it out!

But you might just want to look for "is a clone of" type links on the issue.

Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist- ,

Thanks for reply.

I have one more question.

If I create an listenter that catches "create issue" event. how to see if this event issue is created by my clone or not.

Thanks
