Comments from Sub-Task to Parent

[anthony_butler]

Hi, 

I'm wanting the comments made on a Sub-Task to appear on the parent ticket. I'd like this to happen for each comment that is made on the sub-tasks. 

I've heard tell that using a script in scriptrunner will do this and found this page     which seems to give some information but I'm getting errors when I put this into scriptrunner: I ignore this (rightly or wrongly) and save it, but nothing happens when I add comments to sub-tasks. Even one I have created AFTER adding this in. 

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

For reference the whole script that I'm adding in is:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.AbstractIssueEventListener
import com.atlassian.jira.event.issue.IssueEvent
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.Comment
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.comments.CommentManager
import org.apache.log4j.Category

class SubtaskCommentListener extends AbstractIssueEventListener {
Category log = Category.getInstance(SubtaskCommentListener.class)
CommentManager commentManager = ComponentManager.instance.commentManager

@Override
void workflowEvent(IssueEvent event) {
// only one central way...
this.customEvent(event)
}

@Override
void customEvent(IssueEvent event) {
// set explicit to debug
log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)
log.debug "Event: \"${ComponentManager.instance.eventTypeManager.eventTypesMap[event.getEventTypeId()].name}\" fired for ${event.issue}"

// Here you should put any subtask based restrictions for this task like
// only for special subtask issue types or similar

Comment comment = event?.getComment()
if (comment && event.issue.isSubTask()) {
log.debug "New commment for subtask found."
Issue parent = event.issue.getParentObject()
// Here you should put any parent task based restrictions like
// only for special issue types or similar
commentManager.create(parent, comment.author, comment.updateAuthor, comment.body, comment.groupLevel, comment.roleLevelId, comment.created, comment.updated, true, true)
log.debug ("Created comment on ${parent.key}")
}
}
}

Thanks,

Hi,

It seems there's a problem whilst you try to initialize 'commentManager' variable.

Try the following:

First add this import:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

Then replace this line:

 CommentManager commentManager = ComponentManager.instance.commentManager

with this:

CommentManager commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

Thanks for the reply, I've done all of that and still nothing is showing on the parent task?
