Hello,

Your code would be like this:

JFieldChange [] changes = lastIssueChanges(key);
boolean flag = false;
for(number i = 0; i < size(changes); i++) {
  if (changes[i].field == "duedate") {
     flag = true;
  }
}

if (flag) {
  string [] subtaskArray = subtasks(key);
  for (string subKey in subtaskArray) {
    %subKey%.dueDate = "";
  }
}

Hi @Alexey Matveev

if("Task" == issueType)
{
 JFieldChange [] changes = lastIssueChanges(key);
 boolean flag = false;
 for(number i = 0; i < size(changes); i++) 
 {
 if (changes[i].field == dueDate)
 {
 flag = true;
 }
 }
 
 if (flag)
 {
 string [] subtaskArray = subtasks(key);
 for (string subKey in subtaskArray) 
 {
 if(%subKey%.status != "Closed" && %subKey%.status != "Cancelled")
 {
 %subKey%.dueDate = "";
 }
 }
 }
}

I have updated my code but it doesn't work

You should change:

if (changes[i].field == dueDate)

to

if (changes[i].field == "duedate") {

Hi @Alexey Matveev

I have updated my code, but it still doesn't work. I find a issue. When I update other fields in parent task, the subtask due date will auto change. 

Thanks,

if("Task" == issueType)
{ 
 JFieldChange [] changes = getFieldChanges(key,"Due Date");
 boolean change = false;
 for(number i = 0; i < size(changes); i++) 
 {
 if (changes[i].field == "Due Date" && changes[i].oldVal != changes[i].newVal )
 {
 change = true;
 }
 }
 
 if (change)
 {
 string [] subtaskArray = subtasks(key);
 for (string subKey in subtaskArray) 
 {
 if(%subKey%.status != "Closed" && %subKey%.status != "Cancelled")
 {
 %subKey%.dueDate = "";
 }
 }
 }
}

@Mandia the DueDate field is not updated automatically. It means you have a script somewhere , which updates the Due Date field. You should find it.
