how use ScriptRunner to convert a subtask to a issue

[zhang store]

I want to implement such a function. When a user creates a subtask, the subtask is automatically converted to an issue, and then the issue and the parent issue are associated into a link of type blocks

Hi @zhang store 

Can you clarify your use case here? You could simply remove the sub-task issue type from the project or add a validator to the create transition that prevents users from creating sub-tasks.

Once the above is in place, you can then instruct them clearly on how to create linked issues.

The above is a process I’ll recommend rather than converting sub-tasks to standard issues.

Regards.

Well, we originally wanted to use subtask to manage user stories and tasks. However, after using subtask, we found that there was a problem in the estimation of development time. Later, we wanted to use linked issue to solve the problem. However, using the linked issue function of ScriptRunner will cause the dialog box not to close after creating an issue, and it will also lead to the situation that it cannot be linked. So I want to automatically convert subtask to issue by listener after creating subtask

Hi @zhang store 

The above is weird and I would suggest looking at your logs to confirm why your linked issues behave as they do.

The process of converting sub-task into linked issues doesn’t also guarantee you that all would be fine because you could the run into the same issues you initially had when creating standard linked issues.

Provide a log entry of what happens when you create a linked issue and the error shown on the screen and I’ll try and assist with this.

Regards.

Looking at your requirements:

1. You want to create an issue using a button just like More>Create Sub-task button.

2. The issue is automatically linked to the issue the button is pressed on.

This is exactly the kind of use case for Create Constrained Issue feature of ScriptRunner.

1. Navigate ScriptRunner>Fragments>Create Script Fragments>Constrained create issue dialog:

• Under "What section should this go in", choose "operations-top-level" or "operations-subtasks" (try them yourself).
• Under "Key", fill in "link-create-report" (or anything you liked, it is used below)

2. To automatically linked to the issue, create a behaviour. Navigate ScriptRunner>Behaviours>Add Behaviour>Add same mapping as the button> On Initialiser, add the following script:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

if (getBehaviourContextId() == "link-create-report") {

  // the name of the issue link
  final String issueLinkName = "blocks"

  def contextIssueKey = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject(getContextIssueId()).getKey()

  getFieldById("issuelinks-linktype").setFormValue(issueLinkName)
  getFieldById("issuelinks-issues").setFormValue([contextIssueKey])
}

getBehaviourContextId() and getContextIssueId() are documented here.

Note: If you feel like ScriptRunner is not behaving probably, please submit a report through support portal.

This is my code. There is a problem: each project needs to create a constrained create issue dialog, which is very unfriendly
