Updating parent link of portfolio through Groovy Script by calling Rest API.

[SWATI MISHRA]

We are trying to update the Parent Link of Portfolio by using the Rest API. We want to set the Parent Link value to the Issue Id (which is associated to the current issue through Issue Link having "is a child of" relationship).

Below is the script

String results = "";
def valid = false;

List<IssueLink> allOutIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getInwardLinks(issue.getId());
log.info("allOutIssueLink...."+allOutIssueLink)
for (Iterator<IssueLink> outIterator = allOutIssueLink.iterator(); outIterator.hasNext();) {
 IssueLink issueLink = (IssueLink) outIterator.next();
 log.info("issueLink.........."+issueLink)
 def linkedIssue = issueLink.getSourceObject()
 log.info("linkedIssue......"+linkedIssue)
 String type = linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName();
// if(type.contains("Change"))
 //{
 valid = true;
 //results += linkedIssue.getKey() + "<br />"
 results = linkedIssue.getKey()
// }
}
 log.info("results in Inwards is:" + results)


//Trying to set value in parent link 

//def newParentLink = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectByName("Parent Link") // here is ID custom field what u have to update.
//def jsonObj = new JsonSlurper().parseText('{ "fields": { "customfield_23280": "'+newParentLink+'"} }') //customfield_10115 is Parent Link ID
def jsonObj = new JsonSlurper().parseText('{ "fields": { "customfield_10115": "'+results+'"} }') //customfield_10115 is Parent Link ID
log.info("jsonObj.............." + jsonObj)
def parentLink = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObject(10115L) // id parent link custom field
log.info("parentLink.........." + parentLink)

def slurper = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper()
def jsonEx = slurper.parseText('{"person":{"name":"Guillaume","age":33,"pets":["dog","cat"]}}') 
log.info("jsonEx....." + jsonEx)

def userName = "admin"
def password = "admin"
def fullAddress = "http://localhost:8044/jira/rest/api/2/issue/${issue.key}"
def authString = "${userName}:${password}".getBytes().encodeBase64().toString()
log.info("fullAddress" + fullAddress)
log.info("authString..." + authString)


def client = new RESTClient(fullAddress)
try{
//necessary to overwrite the value of custom field, via rest only update if custom field have value null.
log.info("Before Update")
 parentLink.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(parentLink), null),new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
 log.info("After Update")
client.put(path: fullAddress,
//contentType: groovyx.net.http.ContentType.JSON,
contentType: 'application/json',
body: jsonObj,
headers: [Accept: 'application/json', Authorization: "Basic ${authString}"]
//headers: [Accept: 'application/json']
)
 log.info("After put")
 log.info("issue.getCustomFieldValue(parentLink)...." + issue.getCustomFieldValue(parentLink))
}catch(final HttpResponseException e){
log.info e
}

/*
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
def parentLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Parent Link");
log.info("parent link "+ parentLink)

issue.setCustomFieldValue(parentLink, results)*/

We are getting the Below Exceptions :

Refer post: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-questions/Can-i-update-custom-field-value-of-Parent-Link-type-via-workflow/qaq-p/598745

Its working fine following the instructions from above link.
