Scripts to get you started with common use cases

The basics

script-runner-jira

#### Overview

Use this script to clone attachments, subtasks, and custom fields when cloning an issue. To make it easier to track cloned issues, newly created issues are linked to the source issue with a 'Clones' issue link.

#### Example

A bug has been fixed, and I need to file a Root Cause Analysis (RCA) ticket for this bug in another project. I want to copy over all the details and attachments from the original ticket. Using this script, I can easily clone the issue along with all its attachments, and custom fields.


Clone Issues or Parts of Issues in Jira

#### Overview

Jira uses versions to keep track of updated/different version of software. This script allows users to create a new label 'New Fix Version' for a project they’re working on.

#### Example

 There’s a problem with a project; however, I've found a solution and want to make sure the issue is associated with a new fix version. I can use this script to create a new fix version for a project I'm working on, and create a label for the new version of fixing.


Create a New Fix Version of the Selected Project


#### Overview

This script saves you the time and effort of creating issues manually. You can add this script to anywhere in Jira
that allows you to add a custom script e.g. listeners, workflow functions, REST Endpoints. You can either add this
as a standalone script or as part of a larger script to create some serious automation!

#### Example

I am a product manager, and I need to create several issues weekly for different departments.
For example, I need marketing to provide me with a weekly analytics report for live product campaigns.
Previously, I was having to spend time every week manually assigning these issues. However, with this script, I can
schedule the issues to be created automatically every week.

#### Good to Know

* If the reporter user does not exist, it's assigned to the logged in user.
* Issue type defined must exist in the project.
* (Server) If priority defined does not exist, it takes the project default priority.
* (Cloud) If priority defined does not exist, it takes the first priority that the 'priority' endpoint returns.


Automate the Creation of an Issue in Jira

#### Overview

One of the most common tasks for Jira Administrators is project creation. This script works similarly to the ‘Create an issue in Jira’ script, allowing you to automate the creation of projects. For example, project creation can be added as a workflow post function, a REST Endpoint, or triggered by a listener.

#### Example

I set up a new space in Confluence for each new project. I want to save time so Jira automatically creates a project when I set up a new confluence space. I add a listener to trigger this script, creating a project when a new space is set up in Confluence.

#### Good to Know

You can edit this script to create a project with the name of the confluence space set up. You can do this by embedding this snippet in a Jira REST Endpoint and using ScriptRunner for Confluence to trigger a request after a space is created. You can then add the space name as a param.
