The search for tasks with the Epic-Story Link type in the script does not work

[Helen Porter]

Hello

We need to perform some actions with tasks in epic. But nothing happens when the script is executed. 

Example script:

string jql = "issueFunction in hasLinkType(\"Epic-Story Link\") and key = " + key +"";
string [] selectedIssues = selectIssues(jql);
for(string sKey in selectedIssues){
       autotransition(1481,%sKey%.key);
}

What could be wrong? Any ideas?

Hi try it:

string jql = "key in issueInEpics("+ key +")";

Thanks! But we don't have this function.
As I understand it, it is available in version 4.1.1. Power Scripts. We have version 4.0.2.

[Marat]

maybe they are disabled.

[Helen Porter]

I checked, we don't have such a module.

[Marat]

 Maybe it will work

string [] selectedIssues = allLinkedIssues(key, "Epic-Story Link");
for(string sKey in selectedIssues){
    autotransition(1481,%sKey%.key);
}

[Helen Porter]

Does not work. If step by step output the script operation to the log, then nothing works after the line " for(string sKey in selectedIssues){".
As if "selectedIssues" doesn't work, but this is my guess.

[Marat]

Can you run test script in console?

string x = //any Epic key with some Epic-Story Link

string [] selectedIssues = allLinkedIssues(x, "Epic-Story Link");
return selectedIssues;

Returns task numbers.
"Done. Program returned: INFOPRJ-43167|INFOPRJ-43169"

Everything should work. Maybe worth adding "true" in autotransition

    autotransition(1481,%sKey%.key,true);

[Helen Porter]

Yes, but if I change the line from "autotransition" to output the value "sKey" to the log, then the log is empty.

[Helen Porter]

Can I specify an empty field or not in the condition? Can it work like this?

if(#{Epic Link}!=""){autotransition(1481,key)};

 I try, but nothing happens either.

[Helen Porter]

The script works correctly. It turned out that the problem was related to updating the NFEED field on the automatic transition. I will deal with it further.
