Want to copy all the attachments and comments from parent task to subtask

Hello and welcome in the community.  

To do this you'll need to get a plugin. They're plenty of plugin to do this (I would suggest Automation or Scriptrunner but others tools can do the trick too)

When you'll get the plugin you looking for you got two solution, with automation, you build an automatisation to copy this to the child issue ( not hard to do ) OR with other plugins set the copy into the workflow in a postfunction. 

Hope this help .

Hello, better I can do for the moment is suggest you 2 scripts from my library :

https://github.com/florian1881/atlassian-custom/blob/main/jira_server/copy_distinct_parent_attachment_to_current_issue.groovy

https://github.com/florian1881/atlassian-custom/blob/main/jira_server/copy_distinct_attachments_to_parent.groovy

All this code must be adapted and set in a postfunction in the workflow.

Hi Florian,

the script is working perfectly thanks :)

One more sscript is running to copy all the attachments from subtasks to Parent .So i need to make unique while attaching the script from subtask to parent .

code from subtask to parent :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.AttachmentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.attachment.Attachment
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

ApplicationUser currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
Issue parentIssue = issue.getParentObject()
AttachmentManager attachmentManager = ComponentAccessor.getAttachmentManager()
Collection<Attachment> attachments = issue.getAttachments()

attachments.each{
attachmentManager.copyAttachment(it, currentUser, parentIssue.getKey())
}

If the attachment is already there , then that should not copy .

Can you help in how to achieve this

Hi @kiranmai_genkolla and @Florian PEREZ [Valiantys Administrator]

Thanks a lot for the shares. I am very new to groovy script and need help with something.

How can I use a script to copy the data from the attachment attached to an issue to a custom field on the task?

Thanks for help .
