How to automatically link the Jira ticket if we paste Jira link in description field

unknown

Our teams will paste several Jira tickets link in description field to indicate related changes. But we found the input tickets could not be linked without add the links manually one by one. Is it possible to automatically find the links included in description and configure them automatically as issue links?

This is possible by using ScriptRunner, I will provide the Pseudo code.

Listen to the changes in the Description
Find specific keyword by using Regex
After finding the links then automatically link it to Jira

Now, there are nuances here that needs to be resolved first.

What link it should use?
What keyword it should listen to?
What are the valid issuetype it should trigger the automation?

By answering the questions above you should narrow down the requirements accordingly.

How could I use ScriptRunner in my Jira projects? And how could I configure it?

What link it should use? - Jira issue link, type is Bug, Story, Task
What keyword it should listen to? - If it's configured by project, maybe we could use project key as keyword.
What are the valid issuetype it should trigger the automation? - Story, Bug or Task.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Give me few hours, I will write the script for you.

Also keep in mind you need to install the ScriptRunner add-on in your Jira instance.

Hi @[deleted],

Add this script to the ScriptRunner Script Listener.

Specify the Project where the script will trigger and make sure that the event is Issue Updated.

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def ALLOWED_ISSUETYPES = ['Bug', 'Story', 'Task']
def LINKID = 10001 // Clone link type, Change this if you want different link type
def SEQUENCE = 10001 // Don't change the default value
def PROJECT_KEY = 'DSWCPA'
def PATTERN = /$PROJECT_KEY-[0-9]/

if(!issue.getIssueType().getName() in ALLOWED_ISSUETYPES){
 return
}

if(event?.getChangeLog()?.getRelated('ChildChangeItem').find {it.field == 'description'}){
 def matcher = issue.description =~ PATTERN
 matcher.find()
 if(matcher.size()){
  def destIssue
  def applicationUser =   ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
  matcher.each{
   try{
    destIssue =  ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueByCurrentKey(it)
    ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().createIssueLink(issue.id,  destIssue.id, LINKID, SEQUENCE, applicationUser)
   }catch(Exception ex){
    log.debug("Error linking the issue.")
   } 
  }
 }
}
