copy components from parent issue

[Piotr Nowak]

Hi Atlassian community,

I am looking for a script that will allow to copy components from parent issue using scriptrunner, but add components, not overwrite. Components should be copied at the creating stage of a given issue
e.g.
1.if the new issue is "Task", the parent is "Epic" from the "Epic Link" field
2. if the new issue is "Sub-task" then the parent is "Task"
3. if the new issue is "epic" it shouldn't copy anything

Someone something?

Hi @Piotr Nowak 

afraid i cant help with writing a script but if you have JSU Automation, you can add the below post function; 

Copy Value From Other Field (JSU)

Copies the value of one field to another, either within the same issue or between related issues (as issue link, Parent/Sub-Task, Epic/issues in Epic or found by JQL).

I use JSU a lot as it provides us with lots of valuable extras to make life a little easier!

if you don't have JSU, i'm sure someone will be able to comment and help you with a script 

good luck 

Thanks

Hello,
Thanks, I didn't know that it could be done it that way.

You may need little tweaking of the script.
