Identify move issue event with a Scriptrunner cloud listener

[Cédric Cox]

Hi everyone,

I need to change the value of a custom field when an issue is moved from one project to another or from one parent to another. For this, I plan to use a scriptrunner listener ( cloud version). However, the only listener that can relate to this is the issue updated one. How can I be sure that the script is triggered only for a move process and not for any other update? And how can I be sure to access the detail of the updated issue and not its previous properties?

Thanks,

Cédric

Hi @Cédric Cox 

What about if you still use the Issue Created event and in your code look for the history by expanding the changelog.

/rest/api/3/issue/ESD-20?expand=changelog

 If the issue is created by moving then it will have this entry.

 {
"field": "Key",
"fieldtype": "jira",
"from": null,
"fromString": "ISD-17",
"to": null,
"toString": "ESD-20"
}

I hope it helps.

Thanks Ravi. But I finaly tried Jira automation to perform this.

However, this is not working:

I try to copy the parent key into a custom field. The action results in a success according to the audit log, but the field remains empty. That's puzzling.

Any help with this?

Have you looked at JIRA automation? It has lots of triggers including "Issue Moved"

[Cédric Cox]

No. I will if I find no other solution. I already use scriptrunner for other things and I wouldn't like to install another addon.

@Cédric Cox  It used to be an addon but now its part of JIRA.
