Creating an issue and linking to parent issue with Scriptrunner Jira Cloud

Question

Hi,

I just need to define the link to the parent issue when the child gets created and I can't find any example of how to do this.

def taskType = get('/rest/api/2/issuetype').asObject(List).body.find { it['name'] == 'Warranty Claim Robot Component' }['id']
post('/rest/api/2/issue')
        .header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
        .body(
        [
                fields: [
                            summary    : 'Test Ignore this',
                            description: "Test Ignore this",
                            project    : [
                                    key: projectNewIssueKey
                            ],
                            issuetype  : [
                                    id: taskType
                            ],

//Need to define issue links here?

]
        ])
        .asString().body

I've found a rest example of this but I am unsure of how to convert it to scriptrunner/groovy syntax.

https://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/cloud/#api/2/issueLink-linkIssues

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards

Hi Thomas,

We've put an example of how to do issue linking in our documentation: http://scriptrunner-docs.connect.adaptavist.com/jiracloud/post-functions.html#_link_to_an_issue

The link has to be created after the issue is created, they can't be done in one request.

I hope that helps,

Jon
