How exactly to extract global id for function issuesWithRemoteLinksByGlobalId

[Mariia Romanova _Marketplace Expert SL_]

Hey guys! I have red a lot of posts but still dont see any answers concerning the jql search by function issuesWithRemoteLinksByGlobalId(). This function as I understood  requires GlobalID.... that I am not able to detect in Web Links. Unfortunately on Developer community I also didnt see any tutorial for an end user to understand how exactly I can search for issues that are linked to a particular web. Can anybody help with this in Cloud and DC? (as I can see this function is supported in both Cloud and DC).  

Please avoid sujestions about script runner or any other app that has constructed this functions on their backend. 

I need pure JQL and steps how to obtain all nessesary requisites to be able to use this function))) Probably it doesnt work at all right now?)

Hi @Mariia Romanova _Marketplace Expert SL_ 

This is for searching like linked confluence pages to a jira issue.

Hi @Mariia Romanova _Marketplace Expert SL_ 

To get the global ID of the remote link, you can use the REST API.

I have an instance where the Global ID is not present in the output from this post.  Could you suggest next steps which would enable me to use this issuesWithRemoteLinksByGlobalId function?

Hi @Patrick Hicks 

This is a realy old post, so it should not be used anymore.

But to clarify, a Remote Issue Link is a function of a Jira Issue to refer to an external text URL.

If you browse to a Jira Issue with the + you can add a Web Link.

For example, you can add a URL of "google.com" and Link Text to go with it.

When you then use the API endpoint you referred to (/rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/remotelink), you should see the "google.com" listing returned (or whatever else was

Global ID is only there if a 3rd party app provides the option to create links. Then the 3rd party app should provide this solution.
