Aron Felberbaum September 8, 2015

I'm looking to use a post function to create a linked issue using script runner, trying to figure out how I could replace the description of the new issue with last comment.

If you are using the "clones issue" built-in post-function, you can enter the following code into the additional issue actions:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()
def comments = commentManager.getComments(sourceIssue)

if (comments) {
    issue.description = comments.last().body
}
else {
    issue.description = "No comment set on source issue"
}

Another Question, This transition is using a screen with the comment field, I would like to replace the description of the linked issue with this comment only when the comment is not empty.

in a transition, the current comment is in: transientVars["comment"] - so if that's empty no comment was added

Jamie,

If I don't want the change the new issue's description, but copy the last comment to be a comment of the cloned one, how can we do it?

I did try to use commentManager.create( issue, comments.last().owner, comments.last().body, true)

But I got the null pointer assignment error in the log and the task failed.

Hi,

is the "clone issue" post function still available in the current version?

I can't find it neither in the available post functions nor in the script runner docs.
