Update Epic link after clone in post function

[Alon Erez]

Hi,

I’m writing a script that is used in a post function, the script should clone an issue into an epic and if the issue had sub tasks clone each of them into a story.

I got it all working except for one thing, setting the link between the Epic and the stories.

I looked at many posts and now I’m at the stage that I can create such a link when I do my test on an epic and story that already exist from the script console. However this doesn’t work when I do this in the post function. If I use an existing Story instead of the one cloned in the script, it works.

I tried to use ‘doAfterCreate’ but when I try this the code inside this section doesn’t run.  I also get a warning :  the variable [doAfterCreate] is undeclared.

I’m using Jira version 7.2.8

Script runner version 5.1.0

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Alon
