scriptrunner script to implement below business need

[Dayanand]

scriptrunner script for below requirement 

The last due date of the stories should be the due date of the Epic. The last due date of the Epics should be the due date of the Container. 

Here “Container” is Jira issuetype which will have Epics as child issues (container is placeholder for epics like how epics placeholder stories)

Container due date (system due date) we referring as "Container Due Date"

Similarly for “Epic due date”

Here what user want that based on child last due date parent due date should set automatically say if container have 10 epics then container due date should set automatically based on 10 epics last due date set

Hi Dayanand

If I understand correctly, you want the due date to automatically roll up from issues->Epic->Container so that if an issue is updated to a later due date than anything else in the current chain, the epic and container will both reflect this new date.

The best approach I can think of for this is probably a script listener.

You can set a script listener to watch for changes in the due date field on that project.

Then, if the issue belongs to an epic, we look at all the other issues linked in that epic and find the latest one and set the Epic's due date to that due date. 

This will in turn re-trigger the same listener and similarly find all the epics in that container and identify the latest one.

Something like this might work as a starting point.

In our Jira project relation between Container and Epics established by two issuelinkage 

Some Epics have Inward issuelink with Container as "is Child of"

and Some Epics have Inward issuelink with Container as "is relates to"

How to handle this situation in script to cover above both issuelink types to get lastest (highest due date for Containers) 

Ok, I see, the code I suggested only lets you look up linked issues using a single link type, but you have multiple.

Here is is a re-written section that achieves that:

//find the container
def containerLinkTypes = ['ContainerTyep1','ContainerType2'] //ADJUST HERE WITH THE CORRECT LINK TYPE NAME

def links = issueLinkManager.getLinkCollectionOverrideSecurity(event.issue)
def containerIssue = containerLinkTypes.collect{links.getInwardIssues(it)}.flatten()[0] //this assumes each Epic only links to 1 container

def allEpics = containerLinkTypes.collect{
    issueLinkManager.getLinkCollectionOverrideSecurity(containerIssue).getOutward(it)
}.flatten()

@PD Sheehan 

Thank you for your valuable support when i tried i encounter scenario 

Some Epics have Inward issuelink with Container as is Child of

and Some Epics have Inward issuelink with Container as is relates to

unable make code change that covers above scenario please help for this as well.

[PD Sheehan]

I don't understand what you mean can you illustrate the problem?
