Script to Spawn

[Joey]

I'm sure this has been asked before but I'm not finding anything in a quick search so here goes...

we do NOT have JSD so we use a generic 'consult project' for general requests.  I'm looking to spawn/create an issue in a different project based on a workflow transition and the value in a field. 

Example: someone submits a ticket for a consult.  either they, or they assignee IDs a team, project, value in a custom field that will own this.  I dont want to move the ticket to the new project, it needs to work through the consult workflow.  if it hits something like "consult requested" in the workflow, i need a new issue to generate in a different project.  

Hope that makes sense,

That is fairly straightforward to accomplish with a Workflow PostFunction on the "Request Consult" transition.

• From the workflow edit screen, click on the transition and go to the post functions.
• Click on add post function
• Select Script Post-Function [ScriptRunner] and click add
• Click on "Clones and issue and link"

Then, click add a follow the documentation for how to fill in the details: https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.5.3/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_clones_an_issue_and_links
