Groovy to retrieve parent issue name

[Junaid Shah]

Hi,

Trying to retrieve the value of the parent issue in a subtask to return a true or false value based on a string containing a fixed issue name of the parent..

How can I retrieve the value of the parent issue. so I can compare it with a fixed string?

Thanks.

You can test it directly using the Script console by doing something like:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.customisers.ContextBaseScript
@BaseScript ContextBaseScript script

Issue issue = getIssueOrDefault("ABC-1")
issue.getParentObject()?.getKey()

"ABC-1" is your subtask

That obviously works using the console, in the other cases you just need the last line as Michel suggested so

issue.getParentObject()?.getKey()

Hi, I understand this is getting the key but if I want the issue name, how would that work out? thank you.

What do you mean by issue name, the summary? Could you give me an example?

[Cesare Jacopo Corzani]

try the code above and put at the end: issue.getParentObject()?.metaClass.methods*.name.sort().unique() That will print all the methods you can access to from your issue.

Hi,

If you have the subtask object then you can just call

subtask.getParentObject()?.getKey()

to get the parent issue objects key.

Testing this in a script field I get the error javax.script.ScriptException: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: subtask for class: Script17 A stacktrace has been logged.

Ok then just use issue instead of the subtask. Issue is always the current issue object you are viewing or editing.
