Script Runner- Update subtask custom field based on parent

laurahbantug

Hi,

Scenario: My team sends a Tempo extract of hours logged on tickets to finance team once a month. Before we send the report- we need to ensure all the ticket fields are flagged properly. A major issue we encounter is when subtasks custom fields become out of sync from their parent tasks. I have the subtasks inheriting parent custom fields on create- however when someone updates a field on the parent and forgets to update the children they can become out of sync.

Question: Can I get help writing a script I can run on the Script Runner console once a month before I pull the report to ensure all the parent and child tickets in the project are in sync? Is this feasible or is there a better solution? Thanks so much

A better solution would be writing a script listener that fires on issueUpdated event and fills in the child custom fields accordingly.

Hi,

I have the same problem and I have try a code but nothing happend

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "Labels"}
if (change) {
    log.debug "Value changed from ${change.oldstring} to ${change.newstring}"
    // your actions if the field has changed
    def subtasks = event.issue.getSubTaskObjects()
    def customField = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Labels")
    if (subtasks){
        subtasks.each {it ->
            ((MutableIssue) it).setCustomFieldValue(customField, change.newstring)
            ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(event.user, ((MutableIssue) it), EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
        }
    }
}

Can you help me please ?

Thank you

@Rafael Moreira Hi
Use it:

def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "labels"}

Hi Folks,

This mine script (works for me)

Perhaps it helps to some1 else.

import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def event = event as IssueEvent
def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == "Contributors"}

if (event) {
def issue = event.issue
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()

def targetField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(event.issue).find {it.name == "Contributors"}
def sourceField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(event.issue).find {it.name == "Contributors"}

targetField.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(targetField), issue.getCustomFieldValue(sourceField)), changeHolder)

//update the UserPicker2 in subtasks as well - with the value of UserPicker from parent issue
issue.subTaskObjects?.each { subtask ->
targetField.updateValue(null, subtask, new ModifiedValue(subtask.getCustomFieldValue(targetField), issue.getCustomFieldValue(sourceField)), changeHolder)
}
}
