Update parent issue on transition (JMWE)

[Sadath Ali Syed]

Hi All,

We have a requirement wherein we need to update parent issue on transition. Once the subtask is transitioned, we need to REMOVE the value in multi-select field of the same field of the subtask's parent issue.

We have JMWE automation. In JMWE, we have a post function called 'Add Field Value to Parent Issue Post-function' thru which the value of a multi-select field can be ADDED to the same field of the subtask's parent issue. However, we are looking to REMOVE the value in multi-select field of the same field of the subtask's parent issue.

Hi @Sadath Ali Syed 

you can achieve this using a Set Field Value of Related Issues post-function, with these settings:

- Field: your custom multi-select field

- Which issue(s): parent issue of the current sub-task

- Value type: Groovy Expression

- Value:

(relatedIssue.get("Multi-select field") ?: []) - (issue.get("Multi-select field") ?: [])

(assuming you want to remove the values of the custom field on the sub-task from its parent issue)
