How to copy the values of child... And append that values to parent using jmwe groovy postfunction script ..

Please help me

I assume you are on Jira Server / Data Center.

At what time do you want to copy the values of child issues to the parent issue? During a transition? Of the parent or the child? And by child/parent, do you mean sub-tasks/parent issue?

iam writing this groovy script in parent transition. As of now i am able to get the values into the parent . the appending part is not done .

unable to append  the values  from all the subtasks.

Please help me in this .

my script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

String Actionitems = "customfield_14003"
String completeditems = "customfield_14006"
String issueContextValue = issue.get("customfield_14003")
ApplicationUser loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
if(issue.get("summary") == "RBA Task for your group")
{return
}
else if(issue.get("summary") == "RBA Fullfillment Task for Desk Side")
{
def associates = issue.get(Actionitems)
MutableIssue parentIssueToUpdate = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.parentObject.id)
String completeditemsParent = parentIssueToUpdate.get(completeditems)[0];
parentIssueToUpdate.setFieldValue(completeditems, completeditemsParent + "\nHardware:" + associates)
issueManager.updateIssue(loggedInUser, parentIssueToUpdate, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
}
else
{
def associates = issue.get(Actionitems)
MutableIssue parentIssueToUpdate = issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.parentObject.id)
String completeditemsParent = parentIssueToUpdate.get(completeditems)[0];
parentIssueToUpdate.setFieldValue(completeditems, completeditemsParent + "\nSoftware:" + associates)

Hi @kiranmai genkolla ,

If I read your code properly, you are actually putting this code on a sub-task transition, not a parent transition, because "issue" represents a sub-task (otherwise you wouldn't be able to call issue.parentObject).

There is a much easier (and safer) way to accomplish the same thing. You can use a Set Field Value of Related Issues post-function with the following configuration:

• Field: Completed Items
• Which issue(s): Parent issue of the current sub-task
• Value type: Groovy Expression
• Value: this script

String Actionitems = "customfield_14003"
String completeditems = "customfield_14006"
if(issue.get("summary") == "RBA Task for your group" || issue.get(Actionitems) == null)
  return null
if(issue.get("summary") == "RBA Fullfillment Task for Desk Side") 
  return relatedIssue.get(completeditems) + "\nHardware:" + issue.get(Actionitems))
return relatedIssue.get(completeditems) + "\nSoftware:" + issue.get(Actionitems))

• Options: "Ignore empty values" checked

Hi @David Fischer 

in one thing place ,
there is one drop down field in the parent .. based on that the values on it . i need to populate the fields on the close and on hold transition . this part was already done .

based on the values on the fields in the transition fields i need to append that fields in the parent issue .

Can you help me in this in code

[David Fischer]

@kiranmai genkolla ,

I'm afraid I didn't quite get what you're trying to do. What do you mean by "append that fields in the parent issue"?

[kiranmai genkolla]

No David the above requirement is different one . But now I have achieved it .
