Jira Cloud scriptRunner post function how to set the assignee when creating subtask

[Kelvin Fielding]

I want to automatically create sub-tasks which I've found a ScriptRunner post function to do this but I want to set the assignee the same as the parents,

I've not been able to find examples for Jira Cloud ScriptRunner.

This works:

if (issue.fields.assignee != null) {
logger.info("Setting assignee to ${issue.fields.assignee}")
subtask.fields.assignee = issue.fields.assignee
} else {
logger.warn("Parent issue does not have an assignee: ${issue.fields}")
}

I think that you need this

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/?utm_source=%2Fcloud%2Fjira%2Fplatform%2Frest%2F&utm_medium=302#api-api-3-issue-issueIdOrKey-assignee-put

In cloud how will make?

Thank's

If you already have a handle for the issue:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

Issue subtaskIssue = //however you're getting the issue here

ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

Issue parentIssue = subtaskIssue.getParentObject()
subtaskIssue.setAssignee(parentIssue.getAssigneeUser())

issueManager.updateIssue(user, subtaskIssue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

Granted, I'm more familiar with Server JIRA, so this might not work. Good luck.

Yes, the imports in Jira Cloud do not work, I get :-

org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup failed: Script1.groovy: 2: unable to resolve class com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue @ line 2, column 1. import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue ^

Sorry to hear that, best of luck figuring it out
