Last Comment issue clone

[Isabel Fonseca]

Good afternoon,

I have a situation in jira in Listener, which I need help with.

Current solution ScriptRunner\ Listenner (Events: Issue Commented, Issue Comment Edited, Issue Comment Deleted):

 import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

 import org.apache.log4j.Level

 import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue

 import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

 // Set log level to INFO

 log.setLevel(Level.INFO)

 def issue = event.issue

 def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager

 def comment = commentManager.getLastComment(issue)

 def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager

 // Get the custom field

 def customField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.customFieldObjects.findByName("Last Comment")

 if (comment) {

 comment.body

 customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), comment.body), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

 } else {

 customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), ""), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

 }

Test failure: Basically, when I have issua A with comment(s), and I clone it, it creates issue B.

PROBLEM: When I search for issues, in the list resulting from the search, in the column “Last Comment” the last comment appears in issue B but referring to issue A. It should appear empty, because issue B has no comments.

I've already investigated and found some solutions, but it ends up generating other problems in the combinations of possible actions on comments.

Resolution attempt:

 import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

 import org.apache.log4j.Level

 import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue

 import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

 import com.atlassian.jira.issue.search.SearchException

 // Set log level to INFO

 log.setLevel(Level.INFO)

 def issue = event.issue

 def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager

 // Get the custom field 

 def customField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.customFieldObjects.findByName("Last Comment")

 def clonedIssues = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())?.findAll {it.issueLinkType.outward == "clones"}

 try {

 if (!clonedIssues) {

 log.warn('CLONE no.') 

 def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager

 def comment = commentManager.getLastComment(issue)

 if (comment){ 

 customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), comment.body), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

 } else {

 customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), ""), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

 }        

 } else {

 log.warn('CLONE yes.') 

 def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager

 // fails on next line if it comes from clone. Because it brings comment from the original issue, not the clone !!!

 def comment = commentManager.getLastComment(issue)

 if (comment){ 

 customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), comment.body), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

 } else {

 customField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField), ""), new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())

 }        

 }

  

 } catch (SearchException e) {

 e.printStackTrace()

 null

 }

I can't identify this “clone” action to load comment with nothing (because it catches issue A and not B, line 70 in Resolution attempt )

Do you have any suggestions?

Best Regards,

Isabel Fonseca

Hello @Isabel Fonseca ,

def comment = commentManager.getLastComment(issue)

I think you are looking to inspect the cloned issue.

issue is coming from the original issue at event.issue. This is correct issue is the original issue and not the cloned  issue.

def comment = commentManager.getLastComment(clonedIssues.get(0))

The example I have shared above is a bit naive as it blindly grabs the first issue from the list.

clonedIssues is a collection of issues that contains 0 to n  depending on the number of outward  links from the  original issue of type "clones" as defined by "findAll"

This may be fine for your use case but it may be worth logging the result

def clonedIssues = ComponentAccessor
                   .issueLinkManager
                   .getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())?
                   .findAll {it.issueLinkType.outward == "clones"}
log.info("Found ${clonedIssues?.size()} clones with outward links to issue ${issue.key}"

I'll look into it, thank you very much.
