link creation as trigger to set custom field value

Renni Verho

Hi, 

 

I'm looking way to get trigger for script if certain type of link is added to Jira issue. 

Functionality which I try to create is flag issue and issues below marked with blocked by link. 

Meaning eg. in case of epic gets linked with blocked by to issue which is unresolved the epic and tasks under epic would be marked with flag in custom field. 

We have Scriptrunner for Jira in to use and would assume there is some way to do functionality.

Hello @Renni Verho 

You can achieve this using Automation for Jira

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215460/automation-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Trigger -> issue linked 

Edit issue: Re-fetch issue data

And -> Related issues condition -> epic -> exist

Branch rule -> for the linked issue -> type blocks

Add new component IF under branch rule -> Issue type equals - >epic

Then -> edit issue -> edit the desired field

Note: 

Tested and working

If used for multiple projects add as a global rule and then restrict to desired projects or leave for all projects.
