Script Runner Transition linked parent issue based on status

[Josh Costella]

We need to be able to transition a linked parent issue based on the status of the child. We are not using a sub-task.

How can I incorporate the transition to review link type? I've created a combination of a condition script we use for links and then a transition script we use. I know this won't work in it's current state but am I even close? @Jamie Echlin [Adaptavist]

Summary of what we're trying to do:

If linked issue (child link) is transitioned to Defect status, transition parent linked issue to Triage status.

// Required Imports
import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowContext;
import com.atlassian.jira.config.SubTaskManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtil;
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.util.JiraUtils;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

def linkType = ["Dependency"]
def passesCondition = true
def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
for (IssueLink link in linkMgr.getOutwardLinks(issue.id)) {
   if (linkType.contains(link.issueLinkType.name)) {
       if (! link.destinationObject.resolutionId) {
           passesCondition = false 

       }
   }
}
return passesCondition

    // Get the details of the user executing the workflow transition for the issue change history
String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller()
WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = (WorkflowTransitionUtil) JiraUtils.loadComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class)

MutableIssue parent = issue.getIssueLink("Dependency") as MutableIssue

    // Get the status name of the parent issue  
String originalParentStatus = parent.status?.name

def isParentTesting = originalParentStatus in ['Testing']

    // Update the issue by validating the transition can be completed first before executing it.
if (isParentTesting) {
    workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(parent)
    workflowTransitionUtil.setUserkey(currentUser)
    workflowTransitionUtil.setAction(71) // 71 is the ID of the Triage transition on the Story workflow
    if (workflowTransitionUtil.validate()) {
        workflowTransitionUtil.progress()
    }       
}

It will be fine if you write the condition safely. It should not cause other post-functions to fail anyway IIRC. You can always put it in try/catch...

[Josh Costella]

@Jamie Echlin [Adaptavist], I'm concerned because this is technically a combination of a condition script and post-function. This will be used as a post-function so I want to make sure the condition portion won't cause this to fail.

So you just need to follow the link from child to parent - I'm not sure which bit you're stuck with, you seem to have most of the relevant code.

[Josh Costella]

@Jamie Echlin [Adaptavist] - When = The linked issue (child) is transitioned to a certain point in its workflow. This would then transition the linked parent issue to a certain point it its workflow.

@Chander Inguva - you're not waiting, we answered it.

@Josh Costella - when do you want this to happen? As we said to Chander, it's not possible to trigger it based on a link being added, but you could trigger it on state change or something.

I asked the same question couple of weeks ago https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/38380360

• Still waiting on that
