Update customField value of sub-task with parent task custom field value Script Listeners

[Rafael Moreira]

Hi,

I want to update a custom field value in a sub-task if in the parent task the custom field value was updated, with Script Listeners.

The sub-task custom field and task custom field are the same field.

Thank you for your help.

Hello @Rafael Moreira,

You can create a script listener with IssueUpdated event and copy the code below. Hope this helps. 

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.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser


String cfName        = "CustomField name here" // Change this
Issue currentIssue   = event.issue
ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def change = event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated("ChildChangeItem")?.find {it.field == cfName}

if(change) {
    CustomField cf             = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager().getCustomFieldObjectsByName(cfName)
    Collection<Issue> subtasks = currentIssue.getSubTaskObjects();

    for(MutableIssue subtask : subtasks){
        subtask.setCustomFieldValue(cf, cf.getValue(currentIssue))
        ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, subtask, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
    }
}

Do not forget to change cfName value with the customfield name you want.

Kind Regards.

Hi @Rafael Moreira,

Sorry for typo. Can you try to change 

getCustomFieldObjectsByName()

with 

getCustomFieldObjectByName()

Hi @Orkun Gedik

I still have one error

[Orkun Gedik]

Can you update the for loop as follows 

for(Issue issue : subtasks){
    MutableIssue subtask = (MutableIssue) issue
    subtask.setCustomFieldValue(cf, cf.getValue(currentIssue))
    ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, subtask, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)
}
