Limiting Linked Issues Values via ScriptRunner

[Myles Megaffin]

I'm trying to limit the values users are allowed to select when linking issues using scriptrunner behaviour. I can limit the Creating and Editing values but I'm not able limit the linking of 2 already existing issues. 

This is my current code: 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkTypeManager

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours

import org.apache.log4j.Logger

import org.apache.log4j.Level

import groovy.transform.BaseScript

@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def log = Logger.getLogger(getClass())

log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)

def linkTypesField = getFieldById("issuelinks-linktype")

def allowedOutwardTypesNames = ["depends on", "is dependent on by", "relates to"]

def allowedInwardTypesNames = ["depends on", "is dependent on by", "relates to"]

def issueLinkTypeManager = ComponentAccessor.getComponent(IssueLinkTypeManager)

def allLinkTypes = issueLinkTypeManager.getIssueLinkTypes(false)

// Get the outward link names you want

def outwardAllowedLinks = allLinkTypes.findAll { linkType ->

    linkType.outward in allowedOutwardTypesNames

}.collectEntries { linkType ->

    [(linkType.outward): linkType.outward]

}

// Get the inward link names you want

def inwardAllowedLinks = allLinkTypes.findAll { linkType ->

    linkType.inward in allowedInwardTypesNames

}.collectEntries { linkType ->

    [(linkType.inward): linkType.inward]

}

// Combine maps of allowed link direction names

def allowedLinks = outwardAllowedLinks + inwardAllowedLinks

log.debug("Allowed Links = $allowedLinks")

// The options for the 'issuelinks-linktype' field have to be set in this structure: [blocks:blocks, relates to:relates to]

// because the html structure of the field uses the actual link direction name as the value property.

linkTypesField.setFieldOptions(allowedLinks)

Hi

If you want to limit the links with behaviour when clicking on More > Linking, you cannot. It only works on fields, that do not include Link action.

One way to limit the list value everywhere is to use an app named Extended Scheme for JIRA.
