Automatically Tag Maintenance Issues with Related Development Projects via Issue Link

[Patrik Hoglund]

Hi Community,

I'm trying to identify Development project issues that are blocked by Maintenance project issues. My idea is to use a custom field on the Maintenance issues to mark which Development project is affected.

Here’s the setup I’m considering:

• A custom field called Project Name (multi-select dropdown) listing all Development project names.
• This field is added to screens used in Maintenance projects.

The rule I want to implement is:

When an issue link of type "is blocked by" is created from a Development issue to a Maintenance issue, the Maintenance issue should automatically update its Project Name field to include the name of the Development project.

Has anyone implemented something similar using automation or ScriptRunner? Any tips or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
