Create Constrained Issue Dialog Doesn't Work

In JIRA 7.10.0 and above, the Create Constrained Issue Dialog box does not pop up. Instead, it opens in a new tab or the original tab and any Behaviors that are set on it no longer work.

This was tested in JIRA 7.10.0 and JIRA 7.9.2 with the same version of ScriptRunner (5.4.12) and it does not work in versions after 7.10.0, but it worked fine in 7.9.2. 

I tested the example from the documentation with a clean instance of JIRA and successfully reproduced the error. 

The screenshots included show the example from the docs working on version 7.9.2 and not working on version 7.10.0

Workaround

• Navigate to Constrained create issue dialog and fill the fields as usual, but instead of add click Preview
• Copy the resulted XML
• Navigate to Raw XML Module
• Paste the XML
• Edit the above XML

Replace styleClass with constrained-issue-item and in the link add in the end of the link the following lines &decorator=dialog&inline=true

For example for the following XML when you preview Constrained create issue dialog

<web-item key='constrained-issue-key' name='ScriptRunner generated web item - custom-web-item-key' section='operations-top-level' weight='100'>
  <label>Create Issue</label>
  <styleClass>sr-create-bound-issue</styleClass>
  <link linkId='constrained-issue-key'>/jira/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10000&amp;issuetype=10104</link>
</web-item>

The edited XML that you will save as a Raw XML Module should be

<web-item key='constrained-issue-key' name='ScriptRunner generated web item - custom-web-item-key' section='operations-top-level' weight='100'>
  <label>Create Issue</label>
  <styleClass>constrained-issue-item</styleClass>
  <link linkId='constrained-issue-key'>/jira/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=10001&amp;issuetype=10000&amp;decorator=dialog&amp;inline=true</link>
</web-item>

• Click Update
• Under your script roots create the following file constrained-item.js with the following code

  (function ($) {
  
      function addTriggers() {
  
          //this should be the web item linkId
          var itemKey = $("#constrained-issue-key");
          itemKey.off("click").on("click", function (e) {
  
              function getURLParameter(url, name) {
                  return decodeURIComponent((new RegExp('[?|&]' + name + '=' + '([^&;]+?)(&|#|;|$)').exec(url) || [, ""])[1].replace(/\+/g, '%20')) || null;
              }
  
              var $link = $(this);
              e.preventDefault();
  
              var form = JIRA.Forms.createCreateIssueForm({
                  issueType: getURLParameter($link.attr("href"), "issuetype"),
                  pid: getURLParameter($link.attr("href"), "pid")
              });
  
              var dialog = form.asDialog({id: "create-constrained-issue-dialog"});
  
              var onFormEvent = function ($link) {
                  return function (formEvent) {
  
                      var $formElement = formEvent.target.$element;
                      $formElement.find("form").prepend("<div style='display: none' id='sr_behaviour_info' " +
                          "data-sr_behaviour_id='" + $link.attr("id") + "' " +
                          "data-sr_context_issue_id='" + JIRA.Issue.getIssueId() + "' " +
                          ">");
                  }
              };
  
              form.bind("contentRefreshed", onFormEvent($link));
              form.bind("sessionComplete", function () {location.reload();});
  
              dialog.bind('Dialog.hide', function () {AJS.$(document).unbind("QuickCreateIssue.validationError");});
              dialog.show();
          });
      }
  
      JIRA.bind(JIRA.Events.NEW_CONTENT_ADDED, function (event, $context, reason) {
  
          if (window.location.href.indexOf("RapidBoard.jspa?") > -1) {
              $("#ghx-detail-issue").livequery(function () {
                 addTriggers();
              });
          }
  
          if (reason === JIRA.CONTENT_ADDED_REASON.pageLoad || reason === JIRA.CONTENT_ADDED_REASON.panelRefreshed ) {
              addTriggers();
          }
      });
  
  })(AJS.$);
  

• Select Install web resource  with the following values
  Note: Any note will be fine
  Context(s): jira.general
  Key: Any key will be fine
  Resources: the path to the constrained-item.js file you just created under your script roots

          So eventually will look something like

Now everything should work as expected. I know that the workaround may be a bit lengthy but, since the bug is in the JIRA and the Atlassian - JRASERVER-67719 - we do not have any alternatives but wait for them to fix it.
