Thanks to @Roel3 on Trying to copy Agile Story and associated scrum tasks in UI Action I was able to create UI Actions with:
// Created by: @Roel3 (SN Community)
// Tweaked by: Robert Campbell
//copy Story is working
var chgID = current.sys_id.toString();
var newChange = new GlideRecord('rm_story');
var newStorySysId;
newChange.initialize();
newChange.short_description = current.short_description;
newChange.assignment_group = current.assignment_group;
newChange.description = current.description;
newChange.assigned_to = current.assigned_to;
newChange.story_points = current.story_points;
newChange.product = current.product;
newChange.assignment_group = current.assignment_group;
newChange.theme = current.theme;
newStorySysID = newChange.insert();
//newChange.insert();
if (newStorySysID){
//Copy attachments for this change - this is working
if (typeof GlideSysAttachment != 'undefined')
GlideSysAttachment.copy('rm_story', chgID, 'rm_story', newStorySysID);
else
Packages.com.glide.ui.SysAttachment.copy('rm_story', chgID, 'rm_story', newStorySysID);
copyTask(newStorySysID,chgID);
//copyCI(); don't need
gs.addInfoMessage('Story ' + newChange.number + ' created.');
action.setRedirectURL(newChange);
}
//copy scrum tasks is not working
function copyTask(ID,chgID) {
//Find the current scrum tasks and copy them
var tasks = new GlideRecord('rm_scrum_task');
tasks.addQuery('story', chgID);
tasks.query();
while (tasks.next()) {
var taskID = tasks.sys_id.toString();
gs.addInfoMessage('task sys_id ' + taskID + ' task.');
//Copy the task record to a new task record
var newTask = new GlideRecord('rm_scrum_task');
newTask.initialize();
newTask.story = ID;
newTask.short_description = tasks.short_description;
newTask.description = tasks.description;
newTask.assignment_group = tasks.assignment_group;
newTask.assigned_to = tasks.assigned_to;
newTask.insert();
//Copy attachments for this task - this is not working since scrum tasks are not copying
if (typeof GlideSysAttachment != 'undefined')
GlideSysAttachment.copy('rm_scrum_task', taskID, 'rm_scrum_task', tasks.sys_id);
else
Packages.com.glide.ui.SysAttachment.copy('rm_scrum_task', taskID, 'rm_scrum_task', tasks.sys_id);
}
}
This produced a copy of the story and all the tasks.
What I realized is that I actually want to take a copy of the Epic, stories and tasks. The way I'm viewing the layout is:
Product: ServiceNow Upgrade
Theme: ServiceNow Upgrade
Epic: ServiceNow Upgrade - Utah
Story: ServiceNow Upgrade - Utah - Baseline Change Management
Task: 1, 2, 3, 4
Story: ServiceNow Upgrade - Utah - Change Management
Task: 1, 2, 3, 4
Story: ServiceNow Upgrade - Utah - Baseline Incident Management
Task: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Story: ServiceNow Upgrade - Utah - Incident Management
Task: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Story: ServiceNow Upgrade - Utah - Baseline Release Management
Task: 1, 2, 3
Story: ServiceNow Upgrade - Utah - Release Management
Task: 1, 2, 3
I did a similar code to make a copy of the epic and stories but I'm still working on getting the tasks. Can I call the "Copy Story" UI from the "Copy Epic" UI? I'm thinking that if I can call it during each copy of the story, it would create the tasks but that is probably an oversimplification of the process.
One problem I see is that the Epic, story and tasks will be hardcoded with the version so I will need to make that a variable or not copy it but ask for input to change the short description.
