Script Runner Validator to check if the issue is linked with a Specific link type.

[Ganesh Kumar Vary]

Hi all,

I have a requirement where a User Story should be moved to next transition only if it is linked to another User Story with link type Addresses.

I have used a simple one-line Script: issue.links.length >0 in the Script runner Validator which is restricting the transition when there is no linked issue. But I couldn't find a way to include the link type in the validator. please see the SS attached for more detail.

Can anyone suggest me a syntax so that I can include the link type also here?

Hi @Ganesh Kumar Vary 

I would use something like:

issue.links
.map(it =>it.type.name == "Addresses")
.filter(i => i == true)
.length > 0

Keep in mind that "Addresses" should the name of the link type, not the names of the inward/outward links .

Hi @Ganesh Kumar Vary ,

You can try this ScriptRunner Validation:

issue.links != null ? issue.links.some(link => link.type.name == "Addresses") : true

Can I check if the linked issue is a Specific issue Type here?

something like the linked issue type should be either Epic or Story issue type.
