Link issues that have the same value of a custom field

Mary Gell

We have a custom field for 'fund id' (single line alphanumeric).

I want to link any new ticket created as 'relates to' to the other tickets that exist with exactly the same value. Eg. new ticket created with Fund Id = 15021994 should be linked to any and all other tickets with the same value for that field.

The apps we have available are:

JIRA misc workflow extensions
Scriptrunner
Automate for JIRA

Hi Mary,

using JMWE, you can use the "Link issues to the current issue" post-function with a simple JQL expression:

"Fund Id" = ${issue.getAsString("Fund Id")} and issuekey != ${issue.key}

the JQL doesn't work for me for some reason. I want to link issues that have the same value in the "Environment" custom field.

This custom field is a dropdown list.

I am using the JQL in this format:

{{"Environment" = ${issue.getAsString("Environment")}}

and I am receiving the below error

(string) [Line 1, Column 17]
  expected variable end

Not really a JQL expert, can you please help me out?

thanks
