Script Runner Create Subtask

KRC March 9, 2018

I want to create a subtask on parent issue create transition using Script post function>create a subtask.

In Additional issue actions, I want to pass two fields so that subtask gets created with them

1. cascading select(parent 1, child 6)

2. Due date

I tried different ways of code by its not helping me. 

Note:

If a user creates a subtask in a regular way, I have a validator to check due date and cascading select is required. just to satisfy this workflow function I need above-said fields to be prepopulated while creating a subtask automatically when a parent is created.

 

Sample code i tried and found some pieces of code from Atlassian community

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import java.sql.Timestamp
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager();
def parentOptionObj = optionsManager.findByOptionId(14491);
def childOptionObj = optionsManager.findByOptionId(14494);
Map<String,Object> newValues = new HashMap<String, Object>();
newValues.put(null, parentOptionObj);
newValues.put("1", childOptionObj);
return newValues;

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Due'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, new Timestamp(new Date(2001,01,01).getTime()))

it must be like this

 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import java.sql.Timestamp
def optionsManager = ComponentAccessor.getOptionsManager();
def parentOptionObj = optionsManager.findByOptionId(14491);
def childOptionObj = optionsManager.findByOptionId(14494);
Map<String,Object> newValues = new HashMap<String, Object>();
newValues.put(null, parentOptionObj);
newValues.put("1", childOptionObj);
return newValues;

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Due'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, new Timestamp(new Date(2001,01,01).getTime()))

If you want to use ScriptRunner you should learn Jira Java API and basic programming. Or use any other plugin like Automation for Jira or Workflow Toolbox.

The code looks good and Thank you for the help. 

Yeah am bad at this java stuff, trying to get up to it.

If you still have patience..

Coming to results, I can see validator error.  This is what i was hoping to clear by code.

I see, the problem is that validators work before the post function. If you set a post function, then you do not need a validator. Your post function will fill all the fields anyway.
