Start progress on an issue triggered by another issue

Question

Hi ;

There are two issues given to me , i want to make a configuration that if I start progress in one of  them , the other should be started.How can i do that via Script Runner plugin? I've been digging the script post functions for the "start progress" transition for hours but i got nothing.

Need your help,tips,tricks...

Regards.

Mert.

It was like @Nancy said. Otherwise you could set a "comment" pair in  params. like :

def workflowManagerUtil = workflowTransitionUtilFactory.create()                                                                                                                                 
workflowManagerUtil.setIssue(tIssue)                                                                                                                                                             
workflowManagerUtil.setUsername(event.getUser().getName())                                                                                                                                       
workflowManagerUtil.setAction(i.getId())                                                                                                                                                         
workflowManagerUtil.setParams([comment: "Trigger by Plugin"])                                                                
workflowManagerUtil.progress()

Only improvement would probably be to use IssueService, rather than WorkflowTransitionUtil, but not a bigggie.

On Transition of the first issue, you can call a script that would look something like this: int stepId = workflow.getLinkedStep(secondIssue.getStatusObject().getGenericValue()).getId(); StepDescriptor stepDescriptor = workflow.getDescriptor().getStep(stepId); int savedAction = 0; // Find a "Start Progress" transition for (Iterator iter = stepDescriptor.getActions().iterator(); iter.hasNext();) { ActionDescriptor actionDescriptor = (ActionDescriptor) iter.next(); if (actionDescriptor.getName().contains("Start Progress")) { savedAction = actionDescriptor.getId(); } } if(savedAction != 0){ // Add a comment so there is history of the handoff CommentManager commentManager = (CommentManager) ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(CommentManager.class); String comment = "*Start Progress* as a result of the *Start Progress* action being applied in $issue.key"; commentManager.create(secondIssue, currentUser, comment, true); workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(secondIssue); workflowTransitionUtil.setUsername(currentUser); Map params = new HashMap(); workflowTransitionUtil.setParams(params); workflowTransitionUtil.setAction(savedAction); // validate and transition issue workflowTransitionUtil.validate(); workflowTransitionUtil.progress(); }
