Problem Script Runner "Create a sub-task"

[Nils Lange]

Hello

I use the script "Create a sub-task" at one post functions.

Condition: cfValues['abc']*.value.contains("X")

Additional issue actions: issue.summary += ' - X'

The description contains "Will optionally reopen a matching sub-task", but this does not work! Everytime I perform the transition, the script creates a subtask although it exists.

Is it a generally problem when I change the summary at additional action? Or is there an workaround for this bug?

regards Nils

It tries to reopen a subtask with the provided summary, yet you are appending some string to it. What does "subtask summary" field look like, does it include your "- X" ?

For this feature to work you have to set the subtask summary to some known string, not inherit from parent, otherwise how could it know which one to reopen?

A screenshot of the params would be useful.

Checkbox options: y, x, z

Taskname: "parent"

Subtaskname: "parent - X" -> Like the additional action

issue.summary += ' - X'

The script creates everytime a subtask with the name above. What does the script check, the name?

[Nils Lange]

Now I know what you meant. The scripit can check/reopen Subtasks when you use the script field "Subtask Summary". The script just check the "Subtask Summary" with the subtasksnames. So I have to change the script :)

Yep, exactly... you need to specify the "subtask summary" field for the reopening to work. It's designed for when people want a finite list of simple sub-tasks like "Approval", "Analysis" etc. The code is pretty straightforward.

Jamie,

I have created a listener to create sub-tasks when issue is updated. Everytime I perform the issue update, the script creates a subtask although the sub-task exists. Is there a way that I can limit the sub-task creation to once?

Thanks,

Vishali

Maybe you should add the following conditon

issue.subTasks.size() == 0
