Copy all Component/s to Sub-Task, on creation

[Judah]

I want to copy each value in the "Component/s" field to a new sub-task on creation. I am able access & log the parent Component/s values, but cannot find the method used to SET the components in the sub-task? 

Example: Parent Story

Example: New Sub-task (not working)

Here is my code. I need a method to SET the component/s for the subtask, please!

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.IssueIndexingService
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ImportUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.CreateSubtask")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def issue = event.issue

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def parentKey = issue.getParentObject()?.getKey()
def parentIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(parentKey) // Parent issue object
def parentComponents = parentIssue.getComponentObjects()
def indexingService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService.class)



if(issue.isSubTask()) { 

log.debug(parentComponents)

//error is thrown on this method?? I need to SET the value
issue.setComponentObjects(parentComponents)
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(currentUser,myIssue,EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED,true)

boolean wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues()
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true)
indexingService.reIndex(issue)
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing) 

}


else {
log.debug("ELSE")
}

And here is the log w/ err: 

2019-08-19 12:25:09,585 DEBUG [acme.CreateSubtask]: [ProjectComponentImpl { name='CAMS Project', description='', lead='', assigneeType='1', projectId='10305', id='14001' }, ProjectComponentImpl { name='FBCENTER Project', description='', lead='', assigneeType='1', projectId='10305', id='14003' }]

This code is working (despite some type-checking errors): 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.index.IssueIndexingService
import com.atlassian.jira.util.ImportUtils
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.CreateSubtask")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def issue = event.issue

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
def parentKey = issue.getParentObject()?.getKey()
def parentIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(parentKey) // Parent issue object
def parentComponents = parentIssue.getComponents()
def indexingService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueIndexingService.class)




if(issue.isSubTask()) {

//log.debug(parentComponents)

issue.setComponent(parentComponents)
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(currentUser,issue,EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED,true)

boolean wasIndexing = ImportUtils.isIndexIssues()
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(true)
indexingService.reIndex(issue)
ImportUtils.setIndexIssues(wasIndexing)

}

Check your workflow post conditions. You might already have a plugin that can copy field values. 

I have Jira suite utilities plugin which allows me to add the below post function which I would add to sub-task workflow. 

You can also use Automation for JIRA plugin to achieve this. Not sure if the free version does this. 

[Judah]

Unfortunately I am using ScriptRunner for Jira. 

[jira guy]

Got it. I mentioned these plugins just because it is lot easier to achieve to same results. It's totally up to you on what you want to use.

Thanks!

Hi @Judah ,

Please refer below link, this may help

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/Set-Component-in-groovy-script/qaq-p/689048

[Judah]

That example works well if I know the component name and there is only ONE component. I need to take all of the parent components and add them as an array to sub-task...

[Judah]

If there is only one value in the "Component/s" field, it will update. But I cannot add the entire array of values when there exists, more than one.
