Transiting issue in a post function script

[Siavosh Kasravi]

Suppose I have an issue P which is going from state A to B. In this transition there is a post function that check an external condition. Based on that it may leave P to reach to B or send it to C which is another state.

There is a transition from B to C.

What is the best way to do it?

Hi @Siavosh Kasravi ,

You can do that in groovy indeed : 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl
import com.atlassian.jira.workflow.WorkflowTransitionUtil
import com.atlassian.jira.util.JiraUtils


int transitionId = 51
String currentUserKey = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser().getKey()

WorkflowTransitionUtil workflowTransitionUtil = ( WorkflowTransitionUtil ) JiraUtils.loadComponent( WorkflowTransitionUtilImpl.class );
workflowTransitionUtil.setIssue(parentIssue);
workflowTransitionUtil.setUserkey(currentUserKey)
workflowTransitionUtil.setAction(transitionId);
workflowTransitionUtil.progress();

Assuming 51 is the transition id between B and C. You can use this script in the postfunction of the transition from A to B (make sure put it at the last place).

Thank you. Is there a reference for more explanation of API usage?

[Antoine Berry]

Yes, the javadoc is available online. See for example : https://docs.atlassian.com/DAC/javadoc/jira/reference/com/atlassian/jira/workflow/WorkflowTransitionUtil.html

Thanks. But is there a documentation more tutorial or guide like? Explaining the whole system and available APIs?

[Antoine Berry]

Sure, Scriptrunner has a well detailed documentation. See here, lots of examples. You can always find more if needed on the atlassian community.
