How create an issue via groovy filling a cascading field?

[Rafael Costa]

The code that I trying run is it:

...
def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {
    setProjectId(project.id)
    setIssueTypeId(issueType.id)
    setReporterId(loggedInUser.name)
    setSummary(summary)
    setPriorityId(priorityId)
    setComponentIds(component as Long)
    setDescription(description)
    addCustomFieldValue(data_field_id, data as String)
    addCustomFieldValue(area_solicitante_field_id, "Department -> IT")
  }


def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(loggedInUser, issueInputParameters)
if (validationResult.isValid()){
    def result = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)
}else{
    return validationResult.getErrorCollection()    
}

But I give this error:

Errors: {customfield_17401=The option 'Department -> IT' is an invalid parent option}
Error Messages: []

How parse data correctly to fill this error?

Hi! 
For searchers like me )
To set 2nd level add ":1" to custom field Id:

def cf = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Your Cascade field name")[0]

def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {

...

    addCustomFieldValue(cf.getId(), 'Parent value text or Id number')

    addCustomFieldValue(cf.getId() + ":1", 'Child value text or Id number')

}

Hi @Rafael Costa! Create first the issue with the parent field. (Also I mean don't put the child field in the creation process). After having the issue created, then update the issue, filling the child field.

Good luck!

Hi @Rafael Costa
look at the following script excerpt, precisely that is what I say, you can create first the Issue, and after that (probably based on your conditions - selecting the child field) update then the Issue; in my case, I'm assigning it after creation (I could have done the creation with the assignment at once, but I needed to do it in two steps.):

    def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters().with {

        setProjectId(project.id)

        setIssueTypeId(issueType.id)

        setReporterId(reporter.toString())

        setSummary(summary)

        setDescription(description)

        setPriorityId(priorityId)

        addCustomFieldValue("customfield_16873", objectData.objectKey as String)

    }

    

    

    def validationResult = issueService.validateCreate(loggedInUser, issueInputParameters)

    assert validationResult.valid : validationResult.errorCollection

    

    def result = issueService.create(loggedInUser, validationResult)

    assert result.valid : result.errorCollection

    

    def String issueKey = result.getIssue().getKey()

    def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(issueKey)

    def userAssignee = userManager.getUserByKey(assignee.toString())

    def validateAssignResult = issueService.validateAssign(userAssignee, issue.id, issue.reporterId)

    assert validationResult.valid : validateAssignResult.errorCollection

    def resultAssign = issueService.assign(userAssignee, validateAssignResult)

    assert resultAssign.valid : validateAssignResult.errorCollection

Hi @Rafael Costa 

You can take a look at this example :

The context is different, this link show how set a cascading field, but I need create an issue with the field filled.

The problem was in the child option. I could create an issue with parent option only and child as null, so I create the issue, retrieve it, then set the child option.

it was not as presented on the link, but help me to create my own script, thanks!
