Fetch all child links of Feature Issue type

[Jyoti Kumari]

Hello Everyone,

A 'feature' issue type named as 'A-123' issue is linked to 'epics' issues by 'Parent link' field, so one epic issue which is children of issue 'A-123' is now converted to task issue  type(B-567), so in issue from jira GUI  issue 'B-567' is not visible but from scripting code ,it is still returning as children.Kindly resolve how to fix these issue children should not return issue 'B-567'.Please find code snippet below-

-------------------------------------------------------

def getChildren(issueId, Logger logger, linkType,IssueLinkTypeManager issueLinkTypeManager,IssueLinkManager issueLinkManager) {

def childLinkTypes = issueLinkTypeManager.getIssueLinkTypesByName(linkType)

if (childLinkTypes) {

Long linktypeID = childLinkTypes[0].id

def linkedStories = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issueId).findAll { it.linkTypeId == linktypeID }*.destinationObject

return linkedStories

}

return null

}

--------------------------------------------------------------

call above method:-

children = getChildren(issue.id, logger, 'Parent-Child Link',issueLinkTypeManager,issueLinkManager,user,issueManager,issue)

Thanks and Regards,

Jyoti

Hello @Jyoti Kumari 

I don't have an environment to test this, but this is my suggestion.

In the future if the Epic has child issues, remove those children before you change the Epic issue type. Then remove the Epic as a child of the feature. Then convert the Epic to the new issue type.

To fix the state you are in now, convert the issue back to an Epic. Then remove the Epic as a child of the feature. Then convert it again to a Task.
