In Jira Create issue in another project with Script Runner

[Qi Jiang]

I have few projects, A,B,C,D,E.

A is the high level project. B,C,D,E are low level project.
I need to create a postfunction on Project A, that will create a new issue on Project, based on a drop down list value in A.

For example:

drop-down list A: with value 1, 2, 3,4,5,6

If 1 was selected, after click save issue create button, clone save issue to project B, and link these two issues.

If 2 was selected, after click save issue create button, clone save issue to project C, and link these two issues.

If 3 was selected, after click save issue create button, clone save issue to project B, and link these two issues.

If 4 was selected, after click save issue create button, clone save issue to project D, and link these two issues.

If 5 was selected, after click save issue create button, clone save issue to project B, and link these two issues.

If 6 was selected, after click save issue create button, clone save issue to project E, and link these two issues.

Is there a way I can do that with script runner?

Any insight on the matter is highly appreaciated.

Kind regards

If using post function Clones an issue and links , how to get new clone issue id and original issue id?

I did try issue.getid() , but no luck.

[Mizan]

The object for new cloned issue will be sourceIssue

I hope you are using getId() and not getid() .

Try to use as much logging as possible it will be helpful

After working around, I got code below, but looks like getId() is still null. code as below:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.TransitionOptions
/*

def id=issue.getId()
def pid = sourceIssue.getId()
def creatorid = sourceIssue.getCreatorId() 
*/
def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(sourceIssue).find {it.name == 'ECUlist'}
issue.setCustomFieldValue(cf, sourceIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf))
def authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
//used for debug
log.debug "I will transit the subtask " + issue.key
log.debug "I will transit the subtask " + issue.id
log.debug "I will transit the subtask " + issue.getId()
//issue.summary = 'NEW Cloned Issue: ' + sourceIssue.summary 
//issue.summary = "NEW Cloned Issue: " + "line 0 summary " + "sourceIssue.summary " + sourceIssue.summary

/*
doAfterCreate = {
 
 def cwdUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

 issueInputParameters.setSkipScreenCheck(true)
 log.debug "I will transit the subtask " + issue.key
 issue.summary = "NEW Cloned Issue: " + "line 1 summary " + "sourceIssue.summary " + sourceIssue.summary

}
*/

def issueLinkTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager)
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

doAfterCreate = {
 def issueToLinkTo = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(sourceIssue.getId().toString())
 def duplicateLinkTypeName = "Duplicate"

 issue.summary = "NEW Cloned Issue: " + "line 1 summary " + "sourceIssue.summary " + sourceIssue.summary

 // issue.summary = "NEW Cloned Issue: " + "line 2 summary" + "sourceIssue.summary " + sourceIssue.summary 
 // issue.summary = "NEW Cloned Issue: " + "line 3 summary" + "sourceIssue.summary " + sourceIssue.summary + "sourceIssue id: " + sourceIssue.getId() 
 // issue.summary = "NEW Cloned Issue: " + "line 4 summary" + "sourceIssue.summary " + sourceIssue.summary + "sourceIssue id: " + sourceIssue.getId() + sourceIssue.id

 def duplicateLinkType = issueLinkTypeManager.getIssueLinkTypesByName(duplicateLinkTypeName)

 if (!duplicateLinkType) {
 log.warn ("Issue link type with name: ${duplicateLinkTypeName} does not exist")
 }
 else {
 issue.summary = 'NEW Cloned Issue: ' + sourceIssue.summary + ' sourceIssue.id: ' + sourceIssue.id.toString() + ' Issue.id: ' + sourceIssue.getId().toString()+ ' Issue.id: ' + issue.getId().toString()+ ' Issue.id: ' + issue.id.toString()
 // issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(), issueToLinkTo.id, duplicateLinkType[0].id, 1, currentUser)
 issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(), sourceIssue.getId(), new Long(12000), null, authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser())
 }
}

[Mizan]

Which post function are you using ? 

Custom script or Clone issue ? 

AND

This is not correct 

def issueToLinkTo = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(sourceIssue.getId().toString())

issue id eg: 10001 , issue key eg: EX-109 .

@Mizan

ScriptRunner workflow function - Clones an issue and links (condition & additional actions apply).

[Qi Jiang]

@Mizan

Is there anyway we can setup a webex meeting?

[Mizan]

Sorry, that wont be possible.

Why you need any scripting if you are using clone issue function ?

Did you even try this and checked how it works ?

All you need to do is have multiple post functions for cloning the issue and linking. Each post function will have a condition which will check the drop down list value if it passes it will execute else return false.

@Mizan

Thanks for point out,

After I change togetKey(), still have same issue.

[Mizan]

You can do it via script runner. However, a cleaner and better way to do this is using the Bob swift add-on create on transition .

I cannot provide you a complete working script however, you can refer and try working on the below code snippet

def public CreateLinkedIssue(String ProjectName,String IssueType, String Summary, String Description){

// importing the required managers 
 def issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory();
 def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
 def projectMgr = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager();
 def authenticationContext = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext();
 def issueMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
 def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager();

// create new issue from factory 
def issueObject = issueFactory.getIssue();
 
//set values
 issueObject.setProjectObject(projectMgr.getProjectObjByName(ProjectName));
 issueObject.setIssueTypeId("10000");
 issueObject.setSummary("Child :"+issue.getSummary());
 issueObject.setDescription(issue.getDescription());
 issueObject.setPriority(issue.getPriority());
 issueObject.setReporter(issue.getReporter());
 
//create actual issue
 def child_issue= issueManager.createIssueObject(authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser(), issueObject)
 Long lid=10003;
 Long seq =1;
//link the issue
 issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(),issueObject.getId(),lid,seq,issue.getAssignee());
 
}
