Transition related issue in another project from workflow post function throwing error

[Ghazal Kumari]

Hi,

I use the Script Runner to transition a related issue when an issue is resolved.But the script throws the following error:

2018-08-14 15:01:43,473 ERROR [workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction]: Script function failed on issue: DCAE-8, actionId: 191, file: <inline script>
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: User null doesn't have permission transition for issue DSW-9.
	at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.retrieveActionDescriptorWithPermissionCheck(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.java:142)
	at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.getActionDescriptor(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.java:133)
	at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.hasScreen(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.java:361)

	at com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtil$progress$3.call(Unknown Source)
	at Script159.run(Script159.groovy:74)

 The same script is working fine in other systems but doesnt work in mine.

What am I missing? Can someone help with this.

Thanks in Advance

Did you get the issue resolved? I got the same error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: User null doesn't have permission transition for issue ES2-896.

 I have a script dealing with 2 different projects and the user group has the transition issue rights in both of them.

Hi @Tarun Sapra

we created issue type hierarchy using portfolio for Jira to create parent child relationship.

My requirement is once my child gets done then all my above parent in hierarchy gets committed.

Following is my script:

Hi @Tarun Sapra 

I checked the transition issue permission, as shown in below screenshot .

it shows application access to 'any logged user' for all the projects

[Tarun Sapra]

Can you share the script and script configuration snapshot

[Tarun Sapra]

Hello @Ghazal Kumari

Is the related issue in the same project? Because from the error it seems that the related issue is in another project and the user resolving the current issue doesn't have "transition issue" permission in the linked issue's project.

[Ghazal Kumari]

The related issue is in different project, we tried the same thing in my colleague's system where the transition is in different project and it works fine there.

Hello @Ghazal Kumari

It depends on the user executing the transition as his user account is taken into consideration, does you account has transition issues permission in all impacted projects? Or is it that in the script you are using an "bot" account to execute the transition instead of the account of the current user.
