Script Runner - Optionally reopen a matching sub-task (Not Working)

[Warren McInnes]

Hi, I have an issue where the Create Sub-task postfunction does not reopen the same same Sub-Task yet continues to re-produce new Sub-Tasks? Please advise?

Workflow:

Main Task -> Create -> In Progress -> Request Approval -> Implementation

Subtask -> Create -> Open -> Option 1: Approve -> Closed -> Reopen -> Open

Subtask -> Create -> Open -> Option 2: Decline -> Closed -> Reopen -> Open

On ST:Approve transition MT to Implementation

On ST:Decline transition MT to In Progress

On Request Approval Creates ST (Even when ST already exists? We want to Reopen the existing ST instead of always creating new)

Additional code on Request Approval -> Post Function -> Create ST:

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)
}

IS THERE ANYTHING PREVENTING REOPEN OF ST?

Reopening a subtask looks for one with the specified summary, so won't work if you change the summary in the additional code.

Is there a work around to this Jamie?

Other than to just write your own script, I can't think of one.
