import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

import com.opensymphony.workflow.WorkflowContext;

import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtil;

import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl;

import com.atlassian.jira.util.JiraUtils;

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;

String currentUser = ((WorkflowContext) transientVars.get("context")).getCaller();

def workflowTransitionUtil = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class)

//WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = (WorkflowTransitionUtil) JiraUtils.loadComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class);

MutableIssue parent = issue.getParentObject() as MutableIssue;

String originalParentStatus  = parent?.status?.name

String issueStatus = issue?.status?.name

if (issue.issueType.name == "Sub-Task" && issueStatus == 'Ready for Development' && ( originalParentStatus == 'Backlog' || originalParentStatus == 'Ready for Refinement' || originalParentStatus == 'Ready for Development' ) ) {

    workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(parent)

    workflowTransitionUtil.setUserkey(currentUser)

    workflowTransitionUtil.setAction(131)

    workflowTransitionUtil.validate()

    workflowTransitionUtil.progress()

}

Hi @Jagadeesh Chander 

The error message says that workflowTransitionUtil object is null, meaning that the component is not being loaded correctly. This can be due to changes in the Jira API before the version 9.4.1. I am not sure but could you please try below solution?

Instead of this

def workflowTransitionUtil = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class)

use this

WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowTransitionUtil()

I hope it helps
