ScriptRunner Console: WorkflowException error when cloning issue

[Diana]

I have this script that I run as needed on Console and it used to work without fail. It would grab issues from a JQL and bulk clone those issues. Now that I have Data Center and the ScriptRunner version 8.8.0, I get WorkflowException error. It told me to check if the plugin is compatible, which it is. I even upgrade the plugin to 8.11.0, and still get the same error.

I would get the error: com.atlassian.jira.exception.CreateException [...blah...] WorkflorException: Error occurred while creating issue.

I check my workflow and there are no properties or any validators/conditions/post-functions that could block this script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.issueManager

import com.atlassian.jira.bc. issue.search.SearchService

import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser

import com.atlassian.jira.web.bean.PagerFilter

import com.atlassian.jira.jql.parser.JqlQueryParser

//defining key variables overall

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder()

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def issueFactory = ComponentAccessor.getIssueFactory()

def searchService = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(SearchService)

def jqlQueryParser = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(JqlQueryParser)

//search and parse through query

def query = "issuekey = TEST-1"

def parsedQuery = jqlQueryParser.parseQuery(query)

PagerFilter pageFilter = PagerFilter.unlimitedFilter

List<Issue> queryResults = searchService.search(currentUser,parsedQuery,pageFilter).results

//make each issue in results mutable

queryResults.each { Issue it ->

    MutableIssue mutableIssue = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(it.key)

    //set clone issue type and clear other fields

    def toClone = issueFactory.cloneIssueWithAllFields(mutableIssue)

    def issueType = ComponentAccessor.issueTypeSchemeManager.getIssueTypesForProject(mutableIssue.projectObject).find{it.name=="Test"}

    toClone.setIssueTypeObject(issueType)

    toClone.setCreated(new Date().toTimestamp())

    toClone.setAssignee(null)

    toClone.setFixVersions(null)

    def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(mutableIssue).find{it.name=="Custom Field"}

    def cfConfig = cf.getRelevantConfig(mutableIssue)

    def cfValue = mutableIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)

    toClone.setCustomFieldValue(cf, null)

    //logs to check old issue

    log.warn("Old Issue: " + toClone.key + "-" + toClone.summary + "||Custom Field: " + toClone.getCustomFieldValue(cf))

    //create the clone issue

    def cloned = issueManager.createIssueObject(currentUser, toClone)//here is the where the error highlights

    def newIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(cloned.key) as MutableIssue

    //set values to new cloned issue like epic links

    def epicField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Epic Link").getAt(0)

    def newEpic = issueManager.getIssueObject("TEST-20")

    epic.updateValue(null, newIssue, new ModifiedValue(newIssue.getCustomFieldValue(epicField), newEpic), changeHolder)

    log.warn("New Issue: " + newIssue.key + "-" + newIssue.summary + "||Custom Field: " + newIssue.getCustomFieldValue(cf) + "||Epic Link: " + newIssue)

}

Why all of a sudden it wouldn't work when before this script use to clone perfectly fine? I made no changes other than the query.

Resolved.

It turns out if you don't have your workflow mapped to the specific issue type you are cloning, meaning under the Workflow Schemes if the workflow is assigned as "Unassigned Types", then it will error out. 

After mapping it to a specific issue type then the above script works.
