Need groovy code to clone and link issues between projects

[kk4065896]

I have three projects A, B, and C. Project A has 100 standard issues. So project C is masters project. So, I need a groovy code to clone 100 Standard issues from Project A to Project B and then link those 100 cloned issues to each issue being created in project C.

Appreciate your help and Thank you!

This is code that I wrote to do something similar. Our Information Security team has a number of different applications that they perform maintenance on on a scheduled basis (weekly, monthly, quarterly). They have created template epics with stories underneath.

The different template epics are hard-coded into the script. The script goes through each template epic, creates a new epic (copying certain fields from the template epic) and makes separate copies of all of the stories under the template epic and links them to the newly created epic.

You would basically need to get a list of the 100 standard issues from Project C. Then cycle through those issues, creating one story under Project A and another under Project B and linking them together (I think you can do the link on the second story after creating the first).

Obviously, my code doesn't do EXACTLY what you need, but I think it should be pretty easy to make a few updates to get it to copy the fields you care about and create the link (you'll need to use the IssueLinkManager class to create the link, I believe).
