ScriptRunner | Move Listener | Create Sub-task | Conditionally

[Luis Tellado]

Can someone help with the groovy script to conditionally create a sub-task when a Story moves from one project to another? I looking to use ScriptRunner Move Listener for this.

Use Case: When a Story moves out of/from the project key "CAP" to any other project, check if sub-task (Code Review) has been created and if not, create sub-task (Code Review) which is just a standard sub-task with "Code Review" as its summary. We need to also consider if a Story is moving into project key "CAP", do not create sub-task (Code Review).

Appreciating your help and please let me know if additional details are needed.

Thanks!

Hi @Luis Tellado 

With scriptrunner's script listener, you can use the built-in "create subtask" listener and configure it as follows:

• Apply to the specific projects that you want the move event to create subtasks for (I included both source and destination projects as triggers)
• Events: "Issue Moved"
• Condition (based on your use case)

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

Issue eventIssue = issue
def projectsList = projects
def sourceProject
def newProject

if(projectsList[0] == eventIssue.getProjectObject().getKey()){
  sourceProject = projectsList[1]
  newProject = projectsList[0]
}
else{
  sourceProject = projectsList[0]
  newProject = projectsList[1]
}

log.info("Issue moved from ${sourceProject} to ${newProject}")

def subtasks = eventIssue.getSubTaskObjects()

def subTaskExists = subtasks.any {it.getSummary().toLowerCase().contains("code review")}

if(sourceProject == "CAP" && !subTaskExists)
{
  return true
}
else {
  return false
}

You can probably simplify it/clean it up.

• target issue type --> choose the subtask type you want to use (needs to exist in the project)
• Fields to copy --> as per your requirements

All the rest, I left empty.

Hope this helps
Kind regards
