Automatically create a story on Epic Transition ScriptRunner

[Shawn Danisa]

I would like to automatically create a Story when an Epic is created.

The following also needs to happen:

• The Story should have the same summary as the Epic
• The Story should be linked to the Epic

I am using Script Runner

Hello,

On the Create transition on the Epic Workflow, add a post function.

As you are using script runner, Select Scripted post function and select Clones an issue, and links

This is will you automatically create a linked issue.

For the story to have the same summary as epic:

In the Additional issue actions box add issue.summary = sourceIssue.summary

Come on @Nisha Hajamohideen , Shwan is asking to set the epic link, not the linking issue. 

@Shawn DanisaYou need to add a custom script which will link your story to the epic.

@Nisha Hajamohideen  I did that. However, this feature is limited to "Issue Linking" dependency.  I would like to automatically populate the Epic Link on the story with the Epic (Source) Key

@Maitrey Patel : This the script I tried. Created a custom listener to be executed on Issue Create.  However, I didnt get any joy.  Please see my script below:

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

// func
def linkIssueToEpic(MutableIssue issue, Issue epicIssue, ApplicationUser user) 
{
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def epicLinkField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find { it.name == 'Epic Link' }
issue.setCustomFieldValue(epicLinkField, epicIssue)
issueManager.updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
}

Hi @Shawn Danisa,

You can achieve this using following script in post function:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserUtil
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ImportUtils
import com.atlassian.crowd.embedded.api.User;
import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowContext
import org.apache.log4j.Category

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()
def sourceIssue = issue

def epicIssue = sourceIssue
def epicLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link")

def projectMgr = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager()
def PROJECT_KEY_TO = "<<DESTINATION PROJECT KEY>>"
def projectTo = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().getProjectByCurrentKey(PROJECT_KEY_TO)
def currentUserObj = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory()
def newIssue = issueFactory.cloneIssue(epicIssue)
newIssue.setSummary ("New Story " + epicIssue.summary)
newIssue.setIssueTypeId("3") //3 == TASK - SET ACCORDINGLY  6 for STORY
newIssue.assignee = ComponentAccessor.getUserUtil().getUserByKey("user.name") //Set assignee if you want.

// set the project and any field you want to have a different value
newIssue.setProjectObject(projectTo)

Map<String,Object> newIssueParams = ["issue":newIssue] as Map<String,Object>
issueManager.createIssueObject(user, newIssueParams)

// Following code is used to link task and epic. with 10630 as is implemented by.
epicLink.updateValue(null, newIssue, new ModifiedValue(newIssue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLink), epicIssue),new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
linkMgr.createIssueLink(newIssue.getId(), epicIssue.getId(), 10630, 1, user);
log.info "Issue ${newIssue?.key} cloned to project ${projectTo.key}"

@Maitrey Patel Thanks for this. it works. It has minor glitch though. it creates extra 24 issues.
