Hi,
I needed the same some time ago. I got a solution with 2 scriptrunner REST Endpoints called sequentially. The first is called from a custom web item (Script Fragments) in the more-menu of an issue. It shows a dialog where you can set the summary/epic name of the new epic. After clicking submit, the second endpoint is called.
Here are the scripts for the two REST Endpoints:
Dialog
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.rest.common.CustomEndpointDelegate
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType
import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.config.properties.APKeys
@BaseScript CustomEndpointDelegate delegate
showDialog() { MultivaluedMap queryParams ->
//get issueKey from parameters of REST Endpoint call
def issueKey = queryParams.getFirst("issueKey") as String
String BASE_URL = ComponentAccessor.getApplicationProperties().getString(APKeys.JIRA_BASEURL);
//definition of Dialog with some Java Script
def dialog =
"""<script>
//On dialog the user can insert the summary/epic name of the new epic
//After clicking submit button, spinner is displayed and second REST Endpoint is called with new summary value
AJS.\$('[id="dialog-submit-button"]').click(function(){
var newSum = AJS.\$("#text-input").val()
if(newSum!=""){
AJS.\$("#text-input").parent().find(".error").hide()
var spinning = false;
if(!spinning){
AJS.\$(this).text('Cloning...');
AJS.\$('.button-spinner').spin();
spinning = true;
AJS.\$("#dialog-submit-button").attr("disabled",true)
}
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET","${BASE_URL}/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/cloneEpicWithIssues?issueKey=${issueKey}&newSum="+newSum);
request.send();
//Keep the dialog open for 15s, then close it and reload the source epic
setTimeout(function(){
AJS.\$('#dialog-close-button').trigger('click');
function loadUrl(newLocation){
window.location.href = newLocation;
};
loadUrl('${BASE_URL}/browse/${issueKey}');
},15000);
}else{
//show error message if field for new summary is empty
AJS.\$("#text-input").next().append('<div class="error">Summary for new Epic is required</div>')
}
});

Maybe not the best solution, but it is working for us. At least useful as a workaround until Atlassian maybe is providing such a function in the standard JIRA application in the future.
