Hi,

In create issue Screen, i have a multi select custom field, which has below options

Options: finance , construction, banking , electrical.

User can be able to choose/tick as many options he wanted,

like if user selected/tick: finance and construction - then i need to create sub tasks  from Multi select custom field.

Sub Task 1:

Sub Task 2:

( do you have a script for this)

[Govardan Krishna]

I was able to achieve this with below code, in case any one needed

cfStewards = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Stewards")

Collection<User> users= (Collection) issue.getCustomFieldValue(cfStewards);

if(users != null)
{
for(i in 0..users.size()-1)
{
Object AssigneeValue = users.get(i).getName();

issueObject = issueFactory.getIssue()
issueObject.setProject(issue.getProject())
issueObject.setIssueTypeId("10")
issueObject.setParentId(issue.getId())

issueObject.setSummary(issue.getSummary())
issueObject.setAssigneeId(AssigneeValue)

subTask = issueManager.createIssue(authenticationContext.getUser(), issueObject)
subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue.getGenericValue(), subTask, authenticationContext.getUser())
i++
}

}

Do you add this to the post function after you have the field filled in with the users?

is "Stewards" the name of your field?

Anything else I would need to set to customize it for my setup?

[Govardan Krishna]

Yes, you have to add it to the post funtion, this will run after you filled in users.

In order to work for you, you need to set correct sub task issue type id..

issueObject.setIssueTypeId("10") --- check this ID in your database for correct sub task issue type id

[Bhushan Nagaraj]

Are you using a multi-user select field?

[Bhushan Nagaraj]

You can use Jamie Echlin's script runner plugin. You might find the example code here helpful
