Update fix version of subtask when parent is updated

[Aisha M]

I have just started using Scriptrunner on Cloud. I have been using the DC version, and would like to see how the scripting differs between the two.

We have a script that updates the fix version of sub-task when parent fix version is updated. I am trying to recreate this in Cloud , but nothing seems to work. 

Can I please get some help on how this could be achieved.

Below is the DC script:

IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueManager.class)

Issue updatedIssue = event.getIssue()

Collection<Version> fixVersions = new ArrayList<Version>()

fixVersions = updatedIssue.getFixVersions()

Collection<Issue> subTasks = updatedIssue.getSubTaskObjects()

subTasks.each {

    if (it instanceof MutableIssue) {

        ((MutableIssue) it).setFixVersions(fixVersions)

       

        issueManager.updateIssue(event.getUser(), it, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false)

         

    }

}

Hi @Aisha M

If you are using ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud, just like for DC, you can use HAPI for Jira Cloud and simplify your coding.

Below is a sample working code for your reference:-

def currentIssue = Issues.getByKey(issue.key as String)

if (currentIssue.isSubTask()) {

  def parent = currentIssue.parentObject

  currentIssue.update {
    setFixVersions {
     add("${parent.fixVersions.last()}")

    }

  }

}

Please note that the sample working code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you must make the required modifications

For more information on ScriptRunner's HAPI for Jira Cloud, please refer to this documentation.

I hope this helps to answer your question. :)

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Hi @Ram Kumar Aravindakshan _Adaptavist_ , Let me try the sample script.

But there is a condition being required for the Listener to work. What would be the most appropriate one for our scenario ?

I tried ,

issue.issueType.name = 'Story'

But, this gives an error. I thought this would ensure the script ran on the Story issue type and, fix version gets copied onto the child (Sub-task)

Hi @Aisha M

Please clarify: are you trying to add the condition to identify the parent issue type?

If yes, then you should do:-

def currentIssue = Issues.getByKey(issue.key as String)

if (currentIssue.isSubTask()) {

  def parent = currentIssue.parentObject

  if (parent.issueType.name == 'Story') {
     currentIssue.update {
          setFixVersions {
             add("${parent.fixVersions.last()}")

          }

     }

  }

}

I am looking forward to your feedback.

Thank you and Kind regards,
Ram

Hey @Aisha M 

Switch to Automation instead of ScriptRunner in this case.

You can simply do the following:

Trigger = "Value changed" on edit (Fix Version)

Branch rule: on all children

Edit work-item: Fix-Version Copy from current work-item.

@arielei Thank you for the reply

I can understand that automation could be an easier option. But I really want to understand how the scripts differs between the two, because we have a huge amount of scripts that needs to be adapted to suit the cloud environment.

Hey @Aisha M 

Did you switch to Automation?

Hi ! At this point, we are trying to explore the different options with Cloud. If nothing works out, maybe we might look into Automation.
