Add comments to all issues under epic and updated the epic status to all linked issue to that epic

[srinivas kattla]

Hello All,

I'm trying to add the comment to all issues linked to the current issue through the is Epic of (from Epic to Stories) link type with the following text: This Story/Task has been set to reopened as the linked Epic has been re-opened. If this is not correct .

And I want to update the epic status to all the linked issues.

The is a post function 

The script is not working and I'm not sure which issue linked type is selected as I don't see issue link type epic of stories. The script is not working 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()

def user = userManager.getUserByKey("testing maintenance")

def comment = "The Defect that was blocking the progress of this item has been closed, please can you provide an update to see if this can now be progressed."

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager

IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()

issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId()).each {issueLink ->

    def linkedIssue = issueLink.getSourceObject()

    if (issueLink.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Defect")){

        commentManager.create(linkedIssue, user, comment, true)

    }}

issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId()).each {issueLink ->

    def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()

    if (issueLink.getIssueLinkType().getName().equals("Defect")){

        commentManager.create(linkedIssue, user, comment, true)

    }}

Can you please suggest .

Thanks

Sri

Hi @srinivas kattla 

Epics and issuesInEpic are not linked via the regular issueLinkManager.

If you want to get all the issues in an epic, you need the epicLinkManager but since this is provided by (as quoted from the scriptrunner documentation) "JIRA Agile, or TAFKAG (the add-on formerly known as Greenhopper)" you need to get this manager a little differently than regular components.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.JiraAgileBean
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.manager.issuelink.EpicLinkManager

@WithPlugin("com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira")

@JiraAgileBean
EpicLinkManager epicLinkManager

def epic = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject('JSP-4481')
def issuesInEpic = epicLinkManager.getIssuesInEpic(epic)

Hi Peter I tried the posted script but showing some errors I will check it to fix it .

@PD Sheehan  : It ididn't work.Trying to find it .Please let me know if you are able o make it.

[PD Sheehan]

Can you explain a bit more about what type of errors you are getting? Perhaps include screenshots or log outputs.

My script above was only an example that works in the console. Try it in your scriptrunner console (but put in the key for one of your known epic with issues).

If your script is in a post-function and the current issue is a story/task and you want to get the epic, then you need to use the epicLink field to get that epic.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.JiraAgileBean
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin
import com.atlassian.greenhopper.manager.issuelink.EpicLinkManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue


@WithPlugin("com.pyxis.greenhopper.jira")

@JiraAgileBean
EpicLinkManager epicLinkManager

def issue = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject('JSP-1922')
//get the epic link field
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def epicLinkCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find{it.name == 'Epic Link'}

//get the epic from the current issue
def epic = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCf) as Issue

def issuesInEpic = epicLinkManager.getIssuesInEpic(epic)

issuesInEpic.each { issueInEpic ->
    //do something on each issues in the epic
}

@PD Sheehan  : Now I don't see any comments adding to issues in epic. Here is the script that I update. and error below.

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.WithPlugin

EpicLinkManager epicLinkManager

def issue = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject('PD-5700')
//get the epic link field
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager
def epicLinkCf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find{it.name == 'Epic Link'}

//get the epic from the current issue
def epic = issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkCf) as Issue

def issuesInEpic = epicLinkManager.getIssuesInEpic(epic)

issuesInEpic.each { issueInEpic ->
//do something on each issues in the epic
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
def user = userManager.getUserByKey("ds.pmo")
def comment = "This Story/Task has been set to reopened as the linked Epic has been re-opened. If this is not correct please set to Descoped."
def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager
}

[PD Sheehan]

Which issue type is this workflow post-action acting on? Is this on the epic, or one of the sub-tasks?

I think the error you are getting is from trying to overwrite the value of issue which is already defined in the script scope for you and represents the issue that the workflow is currently working on. And, in the script, you've attempted to hard code the issue to PD--5700 but the log shows that the current issue being acted on is PB-5700

So depending on whether the workflow is on the epic, or one of it's linked issues, you may need to make some adjustments.:

If the current issue is not an epic, then try to just remove this line:

def issue = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueObject('PD-5700')

If the current issue is the epic, and you want to add comments to all the issues in the epic, remove the line above and the next two lines and replace the "def epic =..." line with

def epic = issue 

Also, you will need to actually create the comment:

issuesInEpic.each { issueInEpic ->
   //do something on each issues in the epic
   def userManager = ComponentAccessor.getUserManager()
   def user = userManager.getUserByKey("p6s")
   def comment = "This Story/Task has been set to reopened as the linked Epic has been re-opened. If this is not correct please set to Descoped."
   def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.commentManager
   commentManager.create(issueInEpic, user, comment,false)
}

Thanks @PD Sheehan . I was able to make with the script working as suggested but want update the status of epic and issue in the epic status to Descoped.Can you please suggest.

[srinivas kattla]

@PD Sheehan  :  question ,I want to update the status to Reopen for all issues in the epic.Can you let me know.

[PD Sheehan]

Hi, sorry, I'm been very busy with a project at work.

You can't just change the status with scriptrunner, you have to trigger a workflow transition. That get rather more complicated than I have time to get into right now.

There may be required fields and a transition screen to contend with etc.

I'd suggest you search for solution around this topic or ask a new question.

Here is an example that might help you get started: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/transition-issue-after-transition-post-function/qaq-p/1280845
