How to create subtask depending on Select List (multiple choices)

[Tuncay Senturk]

I tried to write the script as below. I did not test it, I just wrote here in the answer section.

But, it might be a good guide to start. 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.customfields.manager.OptionsManager

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def subTaskManager = ComponentAccessor.getSubTaskManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def constantManager = ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager()

CustomField customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10xxx")
List<Option> options = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)


options.each { 
        // these are the selected options, you can use these option values in this loop
        def optionValue = it.value
        def optionId = it.optionId
        MutableIssue newSubTask = issueFactory.getIssue()
        newSubTask.setAssigneeId(issue.assigneeId)
        newSubTask.setSummary("sub task summary")
        newSubTask.setParentObject(issue)
        newSubTask.setProjectObject(issue.getProjectObject())
        newSubTask.setIssueTypeId(constantManager.getAllIssueTypeObjects().find{
                it.getName() == "Sub-task"
        }.id)   // or just give the issueTypeId for sub-task

        // set any custom field if you want
        newSubTask.setCustomFieldValue(cf, value)
        def newIssueParams = ["issue" : newSubTask] as Map<String,Object>

        issueManager.createIssueObject(authorUser, newIssueParams)
        subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue, newSubTask, authorUser)

        log.info "Issue with summary ${newSubTask.summary} created"
}

Let me know if you have any issues

I have to update customfield_10xxx with the actual value 10406 and this code is good to go. Please confirm.

Or Do I have to update  customField  with the  custom Field Name  and options with any value? 

CustomField customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10xxx")
List<Option> options = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)

[Tuncay Senturk]

Yes, of course you need to change 10xxx with your custromfield id, like: customfield_10406.

Hello @Mobily Monks 

Can you please clarify the question?

What actually do you want to do? Automatically create subtasks depending on the select list values? If yes, when do you want to create? In create transition's post function?

Are you looking for a solution via code (e.g. Script runner) or do you want to achieve that with Jira and/or plugins?

Best

[Mobily Monks]

Yes, we have a set of subtasks which we would like them to be automatically created when select list values are selected.

I am looking for a code( Script runner) solution and NOT apparently with plugins.
