Get issue parent

[Eduard Diez]

Hi community;

I'm new in the JIRA server and I need your help for a update a issue. But this issue need the information father, so firstly I need search the parent name, and I do this but the result is 

null. I put my code. Thanks.

There exists a getParentObject() method in the Issue class - https://docs.atlassian.com/software/jira/docs/api/7.6.1/com/atlassian/jira/issue/Issue.html#getParentObject--

Edit - d'oh! - I see you're using it.

OK, so note that it'll return null if the issue in question is not a sub-task. Is SSCC2619-2 a sub-task?

[Eduard Diez]

Corect, SSCC2619-2 is not a subTask.

So how I can search the parent of this Task?

Because when I do a X issue I create this task, and I want to know how i can update this task when I modify the X issue parent ( For me parent) 

Thanks @Payne !!!

If it's not a sub-task, then it has not parent as far as Jira is concerned. What is your definition of parent? How are the 2 issues related?

[Eduard Diez]

Yes, their are two issues related. So if the first issue change the second automatically change also.

This is possible in cloud but in server I don't know how I can do.

Thanks @Payne

Issues that are linked (Relates To, etc.) have no parent/child relationship. Here's a previous thread in the Community that may give you some guidance - https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/Inward-Outward-links-in-groovy-only-one-way-working/qaq-p/513872
