What is the link type between Ideas and Epics when linked via delivery tab

[binh_pham]

Im trying to create an automation rule that when you link ideas to an innitiative all epics linked to those ideas would be linked to innitiative as childrens but i fail to identify exact link type name. 

Is it implements?

Hi @binh_pham 

Correct - it is the link type implements / is implemented by (depending on the link direction).

Example of how we automate a change in our development project and reflect it in JPD:

Polaris Type

Hi @binh_pham 

Without seeing your complete automation rule, please consider...

First, check your rule scope spans all of the projects needed for the linking.  When a rule is only single-project scope it will not be able to access the other projects for linking.  Your Jira Site Admin can help change the rule scope in the global admin settings for automation rules.

Next, although the Jira Product Discovery (JPD) feature of "Delivery" work item linking uses implements / is implemented by link types, there is no restriction preventing use of that type with other work items.

To only use the "Delivery" feature type of linking, include the internal name for that specific link type using a JQL branch:

issue IN linkedIssues(your JPD Idea key, "is implemented by") AND issueLinkType = "Polaris issue link"

You may substitute the appropriate smart value for your Idea key.

If that does not help, please post images of your complete rule, the audit log details, and explain what is not working as expected.

Kind regards,
Bill
