Jira Script Listener in groovy to create a ticket of VERSION on Release action in an Agile board

Sometimes we need to create a special ticket for the Versions that we Release (with the subtasks that composes the version listed inside the “Version” ticket, for example as linked issues).

Using Groovy with Adaptavist Scriptrunner and JIRA this task is very easy.

Just we need to configure an inline Script Listener in the Event: VERSION_CREATE_EVENT

    linkMgr.createIssueLink (newissue.id, issue2.id, Long.parseLong("LINK_TYPE_ID"),Long.valueOf(1), currentUserObj)

}

We can combine this script with another piece of code to transition this linked issues. See this example: JIRA Groovy Script to Transition issues from a JQL query using the Transition name and not the Transition ID
