We need to restrict linking in edit screen from source to destination in JIra cloud

[thumuluru.shreya]

Assume that we have 2 issue types A and B

A issue will link to more than one B issues ( 1 to many)

B issues will link to only one A issue (many to 1)

and the link between A and B is "is fixed by" and the link between B to A is "fixes".

How we can restrict the linking in edit screen such that A issue will link to more than one B issues and B issues will only link to one A issue. Could you please help me in this solution it will be helpful.

Thanks

Sounds like you are looking for an epic / work-item or work-item / sub-task relationship.

Epics are sort of a “super work item”  They consist of one or more work items and there’s a one-to-many relationship between an epic and its work-items. From the work-item, you’ll find its eoic as “parent”. If using epics, you can have work-items from multiple projects as their childs:

If that’s too much complexity, you could just create your “fixed-by” work as subitems of a work-item:
