Question

I am using the the Jira plugin, groovyrunner, which has several built in scripts. One of which is a script listener which runs a built-in script when a certain project fires a specific event. In this case, the script is ‘Create a sub-task’. You can run additional code after you select a few settings and possibly constraints. I have it so the assignee is set when the sub-task is created. Now what I want to do is set the component for the sub-task. Currently, it uses the the parent components, which I don’t want.

Originally I was trying to use:

issue.setComponentIds('idnum')

but now I just found this:

setComponentObjects(Collection<ProjectComponent> components)

at http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/latest/com/atlassian/jira/issue/MutableIssue.html

I am just having trouble making the leap to contructing the ProjectComponent with a component id and inserting it into the Collection.

If your only problem is to get the ProjectComponent object from its id than in your groovy script you can simply get it:

ProjectComponentManager pcm = ComponentAccessor.getProjectComponentManager();
ProjectComponent pc = pcm.find(long_id); 
List<ProjectComponent> list = new ArrayList<ProjectComponent>();
list.add(pc); 

Or if you have other identifier or conditions on selected components, you should check
http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/5.1/com/atlassian/jira/bc/project/component/ProjectComponentManager.html
for more information.
