Getting Epic Link from Issue/Story

integmas

Hello all, I am developing a event listener plugin using the example in the docs.

I have a User story which is in a Epic and in my listener whenever the User story is updated i want to perform some action on the story for which i also need the ID of the Epic.

From the UI i can see the Story is linked to Epic (under "Epic Link"), but in the the issue object, i get in the listener i cant seem to be able to see the property, i have seem examples where people have tried to use customfields to get the Epic info. When i debug, i see that the issue has no customfields.

Is there any other way to get the Epic ID from User Story.

 

Thanks in Advance

I was able to solve my problem by doing the following

 

// this does not work, returns null
// CustomField field = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("Epic Link");
// i have seen examples of this, but doesnt work
// CustomField field2 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject("customfield_10101");


// What worked was
List<CustomField> fields = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue);

CustomField epicLinkField = null;
for (CustomField field : fields) {
   if ("Epic Link".equals(field.getFieldName())) epicLinkField = field;
}

Issue epicLink = null;
if (epicLinkField != null) {
   // we get the Epic issue object
   epicLink = (Issue) issue.getCustomFieldValue(epicLinkField);
}
