advanced json edit condition with issuelinks not working

Question

Hi,

the use case is that i would like to update an issue field with some of its *specific* link issue type keys. for example, issue A is blocked by issue B and relates to issue C.

i want an issue field of A to contain the value B but not the value C.

im using this in the json edit:

{
"fields": {
"customfieldName": "{{#issue.issuelinks}} {{#if{{equals(type.id, 10002)}} {{inwardIssue.key}} {{/}}{{/}}"
}
}

i know that 10002 is the correct id that i need. i checked the json view of the issue, and also printed the type.id into the log.

however, using the syntax above, it doesnt add the relevant key.

@Manon Soubies-Camy  im actually hitting a problem.

im getting only 1 value on the blocked issue and not a list from all the blocking issues. the blocked issue ends up with 1 blocking issue in the text field.

in the last action of edit im using ' {{issue.blockers}} {{triggerissue.key}}'

i think that this is since the blocked issue is empty at the beginning and all blocking issues use that instance. i tried to to refetch issue within the FOR, but that didnt help.

actually, the JQL under the scheduled should do the trick i think!

Thanks :)

So would it work if you used a scheduled trigger instead of a manual one? It triggers the rule from a JQL query and then you can add a branch. You also can manually start the rule by clicking on "Run rule". Not sure to understand the functional need behind your question so my suggestion may be irrelevant.
