Clone an issue to projects

[Antonio D'Errico]

Hi everyone,

it is possible to clone an issue to one or more projects based on a projectlist?

here is an example:

an issue needs to be cloned to four jira projects. i want to execute a transition called for example "clone issue to projects". then a list comes up in which i need to define to which projects this issue needs to be cloned.

best

toni

Rest Endpoint

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.rest.common.CustomEndpointDelegate
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import groovy.json.JsonBuilder
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
import groovy.json.JsonSlurper

import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response

@BaseScript CustomEndpointDelegate delegate

getProjects(httpMethod: "GET", groups: ["jira-software-users"]) { MultivaluedMap queryParams, String body ->

def query = queryParams.getFirst("query") as String


def prList = ComponentAccessor.getProjectManager().getProjectObjects()

def filtertList = prList.findAll { project -> project.getName().toLowerCase().contains(query.toLowerCase()) }


def rt = [
items : filtertList.collect { project ->
[
value: project.getName(),
html : project.getName(),
label: project.getName(),
displayName: project.getName(),
]
},
total : filtertList.size(),
footer: "Wähle das Projekt aus ...",
]

return Response.ok(new JsonBuilder(rt).toString()).build()
}

behaviour

def searchField = getFieldByName("Projekt")


searchField.convertToMultiSelect([ 
ajaxOptions: [
url : "BASEURL/rest/scriptrunner/latest/custom/getProjects", 
query: true, // keep going back to the sever for each keystroke
minQueryLength: 1, 
keyInputPeriod: 500, 
formatResponse: "general", 
]
]
)

Hello @Antonio D_Errico 

Great to see the complete code sample, if you think my answer helped you in your requirement please upvote/accept. thanks!

Hello @Antonio D_Errico 

Yes this is possible. When you click on a transition then you can have a transition screen and in that transition screen you can have a variable which is a "project picker" custom field. 

Base don the values selected in the project picker custom field you can select the projects in which to clone the issues in the post-function of the transition. And once the cloning is done then you can clear the custom field for next time. 

[Tarun Sapra]

Also, since Jira doesn't support multi-select project picker. Thus, you can create a custom field like the ones here which displays dynamically the actual list of projects

i dont find the example for a mutliselect field for projects only for issues

[Tarun Sapra]

The example of issues is there, you can create a similar example for projects using REST API call which you also described. Basically use REST API to fetch project list and then let user mult-select options from the list.

hi @Tarun Sapra 

i am not  familiar with the rest api and the groovy. so i am a little bit lost at this moment.

i understand that i need a rest endpoint but i am not able to build it up.

how should the rest endpoint look like:

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.rest.common.CustomEndpointDelegate
import groovy.json.JsonBuilder
import groovy.transform.BaseScript

import javax.ws.rs.core.MultivaluedMap
import javax.ws.rs.core.Response

@BaseScript CustomEndpointDelegate delegate

doSomething(
httpMethod: "GET", groups: ["jira-administrators"]
) { MultivaluedMap queryParams, String body ->
return Response.ok(new JsonBuilder([abc: 42]).toString()).build()
}

best regards

toni

Hello @Antonio D_Errico 

I am not talking about created a custom REST endpoint but calling the REST API of JIRA

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/behaviours-conversions.html#_walkthrough_external_rest_service

In the above  example they are calling REST API of confluence but you can call REST API of JIRA which returns the project list.

hi @Tarun Sapra

ok thank you.

the initilaiser looks like this but the field says no matches.

getFieldByName("Projekt").convertToMultiSelect([
ajaxOptions: [
url : getBaseUrl() + "/rest/api/2/project",
query: true,
formatResponse: "general"
]
])

If i open the api call over my brower i get the json output.

[Tarun Sapra]

In the call you have to parse JSON and then it will work.

LIke in one of the examples in the link i shared they are parsing the response so you have to parse the response as well.

def response = httpBuilder.request(Method.GET, ContentType.JSON) {
uri.path = "/rest/api/2/issue/picker"
uri.query = [currentJQL: jqlQuery, query: query, showSubTasks: true, showSubTaskParent: true]

response.failure = { resp, reader ->
log.warn("Failed to query JIRA API: " + reader.errorMessages)
return
}
}

response.sections.each { section ->
section.issues.each {
// delete the image tag, because the issue picker is hard-coded
// to prepend the current instance base URL.
it.remove("img")
}
}

return Response.ok(new JsonBuilder(response).toString()).build()
