Groovy Script that sets the reporter of an issue (type subtask) to the reporter of it's parent issue

[Jan Mueller]

I'm looking for a groovy script to set the reporter of an issue (sub-task) to the same user as it's parent issue. 

It shall be used on a post-function via script runner.

Hello,

Your script would look like this:

if (issue.getParentObject() != null)

  issue.setReporter(issue.getParentObject().getReporter())

I have the following script in our Script Listener for JIRA Cloud. 

// Auto assign reporter of parent ticket as reporter of all sub-tasks
def issueKey = issue.key

// if current issue is a sub-task
if (issue.fields.issuetype.subtask == true){

// get parent ticket
def parent = get('/rest/api/2/issue/' + issue.fields.parent.key)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.asObject(Map).body

// change reporter on current ticket
def issue_reporter = put('/rest/api/2/issue/'+ issueKey)
.header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
.body([
fields: [
reporter: parent.fields.reporter
]
]).asObject(Map).body

}
