Additional issue actions in "Create a sub task" post function

[Aravindi Amarasinghe]

Hi All, 

I have a requirement to assign the auto created sub task to the parent issue creator (Current user) 

Can someone please suggest me a code for that requirement in "Additional issue actions" section?

I think you are talking about ScriptRunner. If so then the code would look like this

issue.setAssignee(issue.getParentObject().getAssignee())

Hi @Alexey Matveev, 

Thank you for the answer but this throws me a error such as 

java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method getAssignee() on null object

I wonder why as this subtask creation post function is the last in the list and parent issue creates before that. 

how ever I tried this one and it worked for me. 

issue.setAssignee(issue.getReporter())

How do you create sub tasks? Sub tasks can not be crated before the parent task, which means, that the code I gave you is triggered not for a subtask, but for the task. Make sure that the code is executed for a sub task.
