Grab multiple variables from JSON to transition, delete, comment, etc. Jira/Scriptrunner CLOUD

[Jesus Octavio Gutierrez Villegas]

Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks a lot if you are reading this, I appreciate your time. Happy new year and I hope the best for you all!

I have a question, maybe you will find it dumb and easy, maybe not, I really dont know.

I have multiple transition ids stored in a variable, they look like this:

Thanks a lot for sharing. do you know by chance how to delete multiple issuelinks of a single jira issue? i have all my ids in a json but i dont know how to grab them and delete them.

[
  "384723",
  "384722",
  "384720",
  "384721",
  "384301",
  "384302",
  "384303",
  "384719",
  "383990"
]

So I want to grab every single ID and delete the issuelink from the desired Jira issue.

Any ideas on how could I "separate" this JSON and efficiently grab the IDS to delete every single one of them?

*Yes, I am using Jira & Scriptrunner CLOUD

Again, I appreciate a lot your time reading/answering this. Have a great day and week!

Best regards.

Hi @Jesus Octavio Gutierrez Villegas , 

Welcome to the community, and a very happy new year and best wishes to you too!

You mention transition ID's and issue links, however, if I understand correct, you already have the actual issue ID's of the issues you want to delete in that array? 

If so, the following script in Scriptrunner Cloud can delete those issues for you. 

Be wary and add some checks if you use this, deleting issues is not reversable! 

def issueIDs =[
  "314807",
  "314761",
] as String[]

for (String issueId in issueIDs) {
  HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest
    .delete("/rest/api/3/issue/${issueId}")
    .asString();
}

You basically loop over the ID's and delete them 1 by 1. 

Hope this helps,

Hello Tessa,

First of all, thanks a lot for taking the time to answer, I really appreciate it a lot! 

Im sorry, Im afraid I did not explain very well and you misunderstood, Im trying to remove issuelinks from a specific Jira issue.

Anyways, your code really helped me a lot! I managed to remove all the issuelinks from the desired Jira issue. Here is the final code I used:

def ids = issue.fields.issuelinks.id

for (String linkids in ids) {
  HttpResponse<String> response = Unirest
   .delete("/rest/api/3/issueLink/${linkids}")
   .asString();
}

Again, I really appreciate your help! Have a great day and rest of week!
