the variable [doAfterCreate] is undeclared.

I am creating a post-function that will create a clone and automatically link to the parent on a transition. 

Code Below. 

This successfully creates the (cloned) issue, however the link is not being created.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.project.Project

import com.onresolve.scriptrunner.runner.util.UserMessageUtil
import org.apache.log4j.Category

def Category log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")
log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)

def issueLinkTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager)
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()

// get the current list of outwards depends on links to get the sequence number
IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
Issue mainIssue = issue

CustomField projectSelected = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_11918") 
String projectSelectedValue = mainIssue.getCustomFieldValue(projectSelected) as String
String actualProjectVal = projectSelectedValue.replaceAll("Project:","")
log.info "Project Selected: "+actualProjectVal

def originalIssueKey = mainIssue
log.info "Original issue Key: " +originalIssueKey

def destinationProjectKey = ComponentAccessor.projectManager.getProjectObjByKey(actualProjectVal.trim())
log.info "Destination Project Key: " + destinationProjectKey
def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

cloneIssue(originalIssueKey, destinationProjectKey, log)
issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(IssueManager.class);

void cloneIssue (MutableIssue issue, Project project, Category log ) {
 log.info "Project.key = " + project.key
 log.info "Issue: " + issue
 def params = [
 issue : issue,
 (CloneIssue.FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT) : project.key,
 (CloneIssue.FIELD_SELECTED_FIELDS) : null, //clone all the fields
 ] as Map<String, Object>

new CloneIssue().doScript(params)
}

def doAfterCreate = {
 log = Category.getInstance("com.onresolve.jira.groovy")
 log.setLevel(org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG)
 
 def issueToLinkTo = issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(originalIssueKey.toString().trim())
 log.info "Issue to link to: " + issueToLinkTo
 def linkTypeName = "Blocks"
 
 def linkType = issueLinkTypeManager.getIssueLinkTypesByName(linkTypeName)

 if (!linkType) {
 log.warn ("Issue link type with name: ${linkTypeName} does not exist")
 }
 else {
 long sequence = 1
 def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()
 log.info "Created issue: " + issueManager.getIssueObject(issue.id).toString()
 
 issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issueToLinkTo.id, issue.id, linkType[0].id, sequence, currentUser)
 UserMessageUtil.success('Derive Successful.')
 }
}

The one different i notice - is Scriptrunner does not declare the doAfterCreate. Howeve I have. 

If I remove the declaration, I get an error that it is undeclared. 

Please help.

I was able to get around the problem without using the doAfterCreate method. 

I basically moved the code section within the doAfterCreate outside and with some tweaks - i was able to get it working as expected. 

If anyone can recommend a better approach, please do so.

String projectSelectedValue = mainIssue.getCustomFieldValue(projectSelected) as String

log.info "Project Selected: "+actualProjectVal

def commentManager = ComponentAccessor.getCommentManager()

cloneIssue(originalIssueKey, destinationProjectKey, log)
issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(IssueManager.class);

void cloneIssue (MutableIssue issue, Project project, Category log ) {
 log.info "Project.key = " + project.key
 log.info "Main Issue: " + issue
 def originalIssueKey = issue
 def params = [
 issue : issue,
 (CloneIssue.FIELD_TARGET_PROJECT) : project.key,

 def newIssue = new CloneIssue().doScript(params)
 log.info "New Issue: " + newIssue

 def linkType = issueLinkTypeManager.getIssueLinkTypesByName(linkTypeName)

 if (!linkType) {
 log.warn ("Issue link type with name: ${linkTypeName} does not exist")
 }
 else {

 def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getUser()

 issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(newIssuetoLink.id, issueToLinkMain.id, linkType[0].id, sequence, currentUser)

}

Hi Gundlupet,

Is there a reason you can't use the ScriptRunner built-in script to do the cloning and linking?

https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/builtin-scripts.html#_clones_an_issue_and_links

Thanks

Johnson

Hi Johnson, 

The built-in functionality only allows to clone and link to the current project. 

We are looking for a functionality that will allow users to choose other projects for cloning and linking. 

The build-in functionality does not support dynamic project selection. Hence, I am trying to implement my own custom script.
