how do I link a field of pickers with multiple issues to tasks?

[Evgeniy]

Good afternoon. It is not possible to implement a script that, when creating a request on a custom portal, creates a certain relationship based on the completed tasks from the multiple issue pikers field.

The result of what I tried, alas, does not work.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

final def linkName = "мероприятия"

def issueLinkTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager)

def customField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(14020)
def linkType = issueLinkTypeManager.issueLinkTypes.find{ it.name == linkName }
def story = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField) as Issue

if (story) {
def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(story.id, issue.id, linkType.id, 0L, user)
}

Your request is not exactly clear but from what I read on your script. You are probably using a post function on a create transition.

1. Have you moved your post function order to be after "Creates the issue originally."?

2. You might want to use doAfterCreate {} closure too if you are using "clone an issue, and links". Try:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

final def linkName = "мероприятия"

def issueLinkTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager)

def customField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(14020)
def linkType = issueLinkTypeManager.issueLinkTypes.find{ it.name == linkName }
def story = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField) as Issue

doAfterCreate = {
  if (story) {
    def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
    ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(story.id, issue.id, linkType.id, 0L, user)
  }
}

I beg your pardon for the translator.

1) I want to specify tasks when creating a request on the portal.

The multiple issue pikers field helped me with this.

2) At the creation stage, I need the tasks in this field (all) to be associated with the task being created. (with the link name I need)

At the moment, the script from my example does not work. I can’t tell you what the problem is. I would be very grateful if you can help.

I am a beginner in script runner.

1. Since you are using a multiple issue picker field, the return type of the field is a list of Issue objects, so please try:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

final def linkName = "мероприятия"

def issueLinkTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager)

def customField = ComponentAccessor.customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(14020)
def linkType = issueLinkTypeManager.issueLinkTypes.find{ it.name == linkName }
def stories = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField) as List<Issue>

if (stories) {
  def user = ComponentAccessor.jiraAuthenticationContext.loggedInUser
  stories.each {
    ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(it.id, issue.id, linkType.id, 0L, user)
  }
}

2. Can you confirm that you have moved your post function to be after "Creates the issue originally."?

3. If above doesn't work, please provide more details:

• Are you using "Custom script post-function"? or other ScriptRunner's built-in post-functions (end with "[ScriptRunner]"):
  
  
  
• Can you provide screenshots of your configurations?

Thank you very much! Everything worked out.

Tell me please. How can I delete the value in the picker field with multiple issues after filling in the links?

[Evgeniy]

One more thing, in the script we choose the Name of the connection, and if I need to specify a specific outgoing or incoming connection ?

You can set the field to null and update the database like so:

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, null)
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(), issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, true)

In the script we choose the Name of the connection, and if I need to specify a specific outgoing or incoming connection ?

You can specify the link as outward or inward by changing the order of arguments, like so:

ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(it.id, issue.id, linkType.id, 0L, user)
// or
ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.id, it.id, linkType.id, 0L, user)

 I hope this helps!

Added the code to the end. Returns an error when resetting values.

I am sorry, you need to import the appropriate class:

import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, null)
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(), issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, true)
