Trigger workflow transition on linked jira issues using post function in workflow

[Sreedevi Raman Pisharody]

Hello Team,

i have a requirement where the jira tickets are created in MALIB jira project and MALTR jira project tickets are linked to MALIB.

Now my need is when MALIB jira ticket is transitioned to Fix Pending status, the post function must trigger to transition the linked MALTR tickets to Testing status.

i used some tweeks as below :-

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager

// Set the key of the target project where linked issues will be transitioned to "Testing" def targetProjectKey = "MALTR"

// Get the current issue and its links

def issue = issue

def linkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()

def issueLinkTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager)

// Get the link type for "relates to" issues

def linkType = issueLinkTypeManager.getIssueLinkTypesByName("relates to").find { it.outward == "is related to" }

if (linkType) { // Get all linked issues def linkedIssues = linkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId()).findAll { it.issueLinkType.id == linkType.id }*.destinationObject

// Transition linked issues in the "MALTR" project to the "Testing" status linkedIssues.each { linkedIssue -> def targetProject = linkedIssue.getProjectObject()

if (targetProject && targetProject.key == targetProjectKey)

{

def workflowManager = ComponentAccessor.getWorkflowManager() def issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()

def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def transitionValidationResult = workflowManager.getWorkflowTransition(linkedIssue, 10763) // Replace 31 with the ID of the transition to "Testing" status

if (transitionValidationResult.isValid())

{ def transitionResult = issueService.transition(user, transitionValidationResult)

if (!transitionResult.isValid())

{ log.error("Transition failed for issue ${linkedIssue.key}: ${transitionResult.errorCollection}")

}

}

}

}

However, this postfunction script is not moving the tickets on MALTR linked tickets to Testing status, please help to let me know how can i resolve this.

Hi @Sreedevi Raman Pisharody 

Why don't you accomplish this with Jira automation.

If have made a simple example that should do the trick.

@Marc - Devoteam 

Did you mean Automation for Jira Plugin, If yes I could not find the plugin available for Jira Server version. 

Our instance of jira is currently running on Jira Server version and is likely to migrate by start of next year only, hence unable to use Jira automation.

Hi @Sreedevi Raman Pisharody 

I can't look into your wallet, but you should switch to a Jira DC license or migrate to Cloud.

Jira Server is EOL and support stops on Feb 2024 completely. I hope you are aware.

Since Feb 2023 its not possible anymore to license Atlassian owned plugins from the marketplace, if you didn't have the plugin already. 

On the script I can't help you further, as I don't have scriptrunner in my system. It's a bit to expensive for personal use and with automation included I can do most actions with it,

Yes it will be migrate by Jan'2024.
