JSU Precondition to check linked issue exist or not with summary contain

Omprakash Thamsetty

Hi,

I am using JSU jql precondition to find the existing linked issue exist or not with particular summary. If the issue exist then I will avoid creating duplicate ticket but what should I write in JQL query in JSU precondition to find the linked issue with particular summary.

 

JQL returning the details with but not working JSU precondition. 

issueFunction IN linkedIssuesOf("key=TEST-123",Milestone) and summary ~ "Test summary"

Any help much appreciate. 

 

Thanks,

Om

Hi, note that you cannot do any kind of "contains()" on JQL so,

{issue.summary} ~ "Test Summary" is not a valid clause.

 

You can do summary ~ "Test Summary" to find out if linked issues have "Test Summary" string or you can use summary ~ {issue.sumary} to search for linked issue having similar sumary that the transitioned issue which i supossed is what you was trying to achieve.

 

But you cannot compare two plain strings using ~ operator, first need to be an issue field name.

Alternatively, you can also use JQL Booster Pack app which also provides the linkedIssuesOf() function, in case Script Runner for Jira is not present yet on your system.
