Cannot copy labels from issue to linked issues through script

[Mihai Mihai]

Hello,

I am trying to copy the labels on an existing issue to its linked issues (through a certain link).

I am pretty close, but I get an error I'm not sure how to overcome:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.label.LabelManager
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level

def issue = event.issue
def labelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(LabelManager)
def existingLabels = labelManager.getLabels(issue.id).collect{it.getLabel()}
def links = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())
def subElements = links.findAll { it.issueLinkType.name.contains('Parent/Child') && it.destinationObject.getProjectObject().getKey() == 'TEST'}

subElements.each { it ->

def sublabelManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(LabelManager)
def subexistingLabels = sublabelManager.getLabels(it.getDestinationObject().id)*.label
def loggedInUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser

for (eachlabel in existingLabels) {

if (eachlabel && !subexistingLabels*.contains(eachlabel)) {

labelManager.setLabels(loggedInUser, it.getDestinationObject().key, eachlabel, false, false)
}
}
}

The error is:

2019-10-17 07:15:24,744 ERROR [runner.AbstractScriptListener]: *************************************************************************************

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you!

hope this helps

Hi,

Not sure how that can help, it seems I'm just having issues with my last line:

labelManager.setLabels(loggedInUser, it.getDestinationObject().key, eachlabel, false, false)

while in there there is a totally different approach.

Thank you.

oh okay anyways if this thing resolves just give out the solution if this is new then it might help others
