I was able to figure it out without plugins. I am using the SOAP API to make requests to and from the Jira server. I use this basic format to set up the connection in PowerShell:
$jirasvc = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri "http://jiraserver/rpc/soap/jirasoapservice-v2?wsdl"
$username = "username"
$password = "password"
$token = $jirasvc.login($username,$password)
Then from there, you can create an object to hold all subtask information:
$namespace = $jirasvc.GetType().Namespace
$issue = New-Object "$namespace.RemoteIssue"
$issue.summary = $summary
$issue.description = $description
$issue.assignee = $assignee
$issue.type = "5" # subtask
$issue.priority = "4" #Minor
$issue.project = "ProjKey"
The variables ($summary, $description, $assignee) contain information related to the specific subtask the user is creating. This is manually entered by the user.
After the subtask is created, I loop through an array containing all task keys in a specific project. You can get all of these using a JQL query (and select statement in PowerShell):
$pkeyarray = $jirasvc.getIssuesFromJqlSearch($token, 'project="ProjKey" AND status="open" summary~"Requests"',"10000")
This is assuming all tasks have similar names (ex: All of the relavant tasks in this project have "Requests" at the end of them). The following loop (in PowerShell) will create the subtasks on the list of tasks in the array that was just generated:
foreach($pkey in $pkeyarray)
{
$jirasvc.createIssueWithParent($token,$issue,$pkey)
}
I haven't gotten to scripting a "mass resolve" (which would do the opposite of what this script does), but you would use this to resolve an issue:
$issue = New-Object "$namespace.RemoteFieldValue"
$issue.id = "resolved"
$issue.values = "5"
$jirasvc.progressWorkflowAction($token,"ST-100","5",$issue)
The following statement would resolve a subtask with the key "ST-100". Obviously to do the opposite of the addition that I did above, you would need to create a loop that loops through the appropriate subtask keys to resolve them.
Hopefully this will help someone else!
