workflow post-function: creating subtask for each user in multi user picker CF

[Özerk Dolanbay]

Hi all,

I need a workflow post-function which creates a subtask for each user in "multi user picker" custom field and assign it to him/her.

I found a similar topic about this -> https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/29809/workflow-post-function-creating-subtask-for-each-user-of-group

In this code, subtask is created for each user of a group but I have a multi user picker" custom field so I need to modify the code but I couldn't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The code below worked for me. Thanks.

CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()

def issueManager = componentManager.getIssueManager()
def indexManager = componentManager.getIndexManager()
CustomField yetkilicf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(11421L) // "yetkilicf" is the name of my multi user picker cf
Collection<User> users=  (Collection) issue.getCustomFieldValue(yetkilicf)
def UserList = []

String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller()
User currentUserObj = UserUtils.getUser(currentUser)
 
 
for (User user : users) {
   
                if(!UserList.contains(user) && user != currentUser) {
 
                        MutableIssue newIssue = issueFactory.getIssue()
                        newIssue.summary = issue.summary
                        newIssue.issueTypeId = '35'
                        newIssue.project = issue.project
                        newIssue.reporter = UserUtils.getUser(currentUser)
                        newIssue.assignee =  UserUtils.getUser(user)
                        newIssue.assigneeId = user.getName()
                        newIssue.priority = issue.priority

                        GenericValue newIssueGv = issueManager.createIssue(currentUserObj, newIssueParams)
 
                        boolean wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues();
                        ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true);
 
                        indexManager.reIndex(newIssueGv);
 
                        SubTaskManager subTaskManager = componentManager.getSubTaskManager()
                        subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue, newIssue, componentManager.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser())
 
                        indexManager.reIndex(newIssueGv);
                        indexManager.reIndex(issue);
 
                        ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing);
 
                        UserList.add(user)
 
            }
}

You should use the subtask creation code from the topic you referenced above and run this in a loop like this

cfValues['My Multiuser Picker'].each{ user ->
    // create subtask for user
}

'My Multiuser Picker' is the name of the multi user picker custom field.
