Transition Inward Linked issues

Michael Schultz

Hello. I have a script that I've been working for transitioning the linked issues of the parent issue. Basic logic is: when a parent issue is Resolved, go through each linked issue and resolve those as well. 

I am able to get all the way to validating the transition when it fails. Here is my script:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl

IssueService issueService = ComponentAccessor.getIssueService()

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.issueManager
def issue = issueManager.getIssueObject(event.issue.key)
def actionId = 2 // change this to the step that you want the issues to be transitioned to
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def type = issue.getIssueType().getName()

log.debug("The issue type is: " + issue.getIssueType().name)

if (type.toString() == 'Task') {

List<IssueLink> allInIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getInwardLinks(issue.getId());
allInIssueLink?.each { linked ->
def linkedIssue = linked.getDestinationObject()
Long linkedId = linkedIssue.id
def transitionValidationResult = issueService.validateTransition(currentUser, linkedId, actionId,new IssueInputParametersImpl())

if (transitionValidationResult.isValid()) {
def transitionResult = issueService.transition(currentUser, transitionValidationResult)

if (transitionResult.isValid())
{ log.debug("Transitioned issue $issue through action $actionId") }

else
{ log.debug("Transition result is not valid") }
}

else {
log.debug("The transitionValidation is not valid: " + transitionValidationResult) 
}
}
}

I found the solution here. The line:

def linkedIssue = linked.getDestinationObject()

Needed to be changed to: 

def linkedIssue = linked.getSourceObject()

This gets the correct InwardLinked (Source) issues. Instead of getting the InwardLinked (Destination) issue or the "Parent" issue, which was not needed.
