Use Groovy to set fields on sub-task?

[Warren McInnes]

Hi,

Using the script runner post-function > Create subtask during a workflow transition I would like to do the following:

1. Take a value from a select list customfield and add it to the subtask summary, here is my code:

def Emergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')

def newSummary = 
if (Emergency == "Emergency") {
return issue.getCustomFieldValue(Emergency) + issue.getSummary()
 
} else (Emergency == "None") {
return issue.getSummary()
} else {
    return null
}

issue.setSummary(newSummary)

2. when the subtask gets created - change the priority to Blocker

Please assist?

Hi,

This script should work in the create sub-task post function.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.priority.Priority
import com.atlassian.jira.config.ConstantsManager

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'ITO Emergency Change'}
def issueSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()

emergencyValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency).toString().trim()

newSummary = emergencyValue +  " - " + issueSummary

if(emergencyValue.equals("Emergency") {
issue.setPriorityObject((Priority) ComponentAccessor.getConstantsManager().getIssueConstantByName(ConstantsManager.PRIORITY_CONSTANT_TYPE, "Blocker"))
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
}

The script copies the value from the single select list and prepends it to the parent summary. It sets the priority to "Blocker". You need to have the single select field available on both sub-task and parent for this to work.

Hi Vijay, This script did not work? I am not sure why, but I will try to see. Thanks for your effort

[Vijay Khacharia]

Hi,

What was the error?

Vijay

[Warren McInnes]

It just didn't create the sub-task

But by using this code it worked perfectly:

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')
def issueSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()
 
emergencyValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency).getValue()
 
newSummary = "(" + emergencyValue +  ") " + issueSummary + " - approval task."
 
if(emergencyValue.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setPriorityId("1")
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
}

Thanks for all your help!

[Vijay Khacharia]

I see the priority object might have been an problem as I have "Blocker" as priority in my system and it might be differnt for you.

Any ways, priorityId works well and all is good ;)

[Warren McInnes]

Sorry Vijay,

So the above code I added works, but only if "ITO Change Control" > "Emergency" is selected. If nothing is selected/The default value "None" is selected it does not create the subtask?

I will try alter the code with an if else statment? Please advise?

[Warren McInnes]

I have tried:

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')
def issueSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()
 
emergencyValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency).getValue()
 
newSummary = "(" + emergencyValue +  ") " + issueSummary + " - approval task."
oldSummary = issueSummary + " - approval task."
 
if(emergencyValue.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setPriorityId("1")
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
} 
else(!emergencyValue.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setSummary(oldSummary)
}

AS WELL AS:
else(emergencyValue = "None"){
issue.setSummary(oldSummary)
}

But for some reason it doesn't even create the suv-task unless "Emergency" has been selected?

I have no idea and there are no errors?

[Warren McInnes]

Nevermind, It seems I was trying to get to complex. The following worked for me:

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')
def issueSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()
 
emergencyValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency).getValue()
 
newSummary = "(" + emergencyValue +  ") " + issueSummary + " - approval task."
oldSummary = issueSummary + " - approval task."
 
if(emergencyValue.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setPriorityId("1")
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
}
else{
issue.setSummary(oldSummary)
}

[Vijay Khacharia]

Where are you putting the code? In the condition box or Additional Issue actions?

It should go in Additional Issue Actions.

Updated code that works is here.

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')
def issueSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()
  
emergencyValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency).getValue()
  
newSummary = "(" + emergencyValue +  ") " + issueSummary + " - approval task."
oldSummary = issueSummary + " - approval task."
  
if(emergencyValue.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setPriorityId("1")
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
} 
else{
issue.setSummary(oldSummary)
}

[Vijay Khacharia]

didnt see your latest comment. Good that it works now ;)

[Warren McInnes]

Thanks man...

It's so strange - I had to add an option "Not an Emergency" inorder of it to work, won't work on the default value of "None"

But it's fine, as long as it some somehow, I am happy :)

[Warren McInnes]

In doing all of this, Can we also set the assignee? I would prefer something like:

set assignee from project role "Approvers" (1 user)? Can you assist to add to the above CODE?

[Vijay Khacharia]

The script to read the user in project role is available here.

https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/13140/how-to-list-all-members-of-a-certain-project-role

What you can do is to use the script to get the Approver and do issue.setAssignee("approver_user")

This should work but not tested though

[Warren McInnes]

Yes, I added it in as follows, But didn't work - Once again just doesn't do anything and not even create the subtask? I may have put it together incorrectly?

ProjectRoleManager projectRoleManager = componentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager.class)
ProjectManager projectManager = componentManager.getProjectManager()

def projectRole =  projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Approvers")
def actors = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(projectRole, issue.getProjectObject())
def approver = projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(projectRole, issue.getProjectObject()).roleActors.find { true }

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')
def issueSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()
 
emergencyValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency).getValue()
 
newSummary = "(" + emergencyValue +  ") " + issueSummary + " - approval task."
oldSummary = issueSummary + " - approval task."
 
if(emergencyValue.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setPriorityId("1")
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
issue.setAssignee(approver.user)
}
else{
issue.setSummary(oldSummary)
issue.setAssignee(approver.user)
}

[Vijay Khacharia]

This worked for me.

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project
import com.atlassian.jira.project.ProjectManager
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRole
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleActors
import com.atlassian.jira.security.roles.ProjectRoleManager

ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
ProjectManager projectManager = componentManager.getProjectManager()
ProjectRoleManager projectRoleManager = ComponentManager.getComponentInstanceOfType(ProjectRoleManager.class) as ProjectRoleManager

def projectRole =projectRoleManager.getProjectRole("Approvers")
def actors =projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(projectRole, issue.getProjectObject())
def approver =projectRoleManager.getProjectRoleActors(projectRole, issue.getProjectObject()).roleActors.find { true }

def issueEmergency =customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')
def issueSummary =issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority =issue.getPriorityObject()

emergencyValue =issue.getCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency).getValue()

newSummary ="(" + emergencyValue + ") " + issueSummary + " - approval task."
oldSummary =issueSummary + " - approval task."

if(emergencyValue.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setPriorityId("1")
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
issue.setAssignee(approver.user)
}
else{
issue.setSummary(oldSummary)
issue.setAssignee(approver.user)
}

[Warren McInnes]

Thanks, Works GREAT!!! What did I miss?

[Vijay Khacharia]

I think it was not finding the componentManager. thats the only difference I see.

[Warren McInnes]

Sorry to bother, for some reason once the assignee is changed to the user in the "Approvers" role, If does not send an "Issue Created" Notification? Am I supposed to fire the event in the script? If so, How?

[Paresh Gandhi]

try:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField

ComponentManager componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()

def customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()

def cf = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Emergency"}

def cfgvalue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf)

issue.setSummary(cfgvalue + newSummary) 

issue.priorityId = '1'

[crf]

Do not use ComponentManager. Use ComponentAccessor when dependency injection isn't available.

[Warren McInnes]

Hi Pareshkumar Gandhi,

Thanks for your effort, However I only need the priority to be set "IF" ITO Change Control is set to Emergency and then I need the value of the Customfield "ITO Change Control" if it's "Emergency" to be added to the summary on subtask creation?

Thanks

[Warren McInnes]

I would think thick couls work, but for some reason it does not?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'ITO Emergency Change'}
def issueSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()

newSummary = issue.setCustomFieldValue(issueEmergency, "Emergency") + issueSummary

if (issueEmergency.equals("Emergency")){
issue.setPriorityObject("1")
issue.setSummary(newSummary)
}
else {
    return null
}

Please advise?

[Naresh Gundu]

I have multiple subtasks under parent issue 
where i want to copy the attachment&links of subtasks to parent issue.
could you some help me of writing groovy script in postfunction.

[Warren McInnes]

I need something almost like this, but that works. Please assist:

def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject('customfield_12601')


def issueEmergency = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName('ITO Emergency Change')

def oldSummary = issue.getSummary()
def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()

if (issueEmergency.equals("Emergency")){
return issue.getCustomFieldValue(Emergency) + issue.getSummary()
return issuePriority.setPriorityObject('1')

} else if(issueEmergency.equals("None")) {

return issue.getSummary()
} else {
    return null
}

[Warren McInnes]

Hi Guys, I need to change the Priority as well?

I was thinking along the lines of:

def issuePriority = issue.getPriorityObject()

if (Emergency == "Emergency") {
return issue.setPriorityObject('1')
} else (Emergency == "None") {
return issue.setPriorityObject(issue.getPriorityObject())
} else {
    return null
}

Would there be a way to merge the 2 pieces of code to work in one script?
