Automation - Advanced Branching over issue links

Julia Foden

I was hoping to use advanced branching to add one issue's links to the existing links of another issue.

I have started testing with a manual trigger and simple logging.

But I got this error

For my immediate needs I'll do what I need to do manually.

But has anyone got advanced branching to work for iterating over a list of issue links?

Hi @Julia Foden

The list values (links, comments, etc.) have attribute-based values, so you need to access the one you want. Please try this for the branch:

Hi @Bill Sheboy

I tried that but it logged nothing. In my original rule, the branch did log the issue key of the first link but then hit the error.

Thanks for that information, Julia.

I updated my post as when I tried this, it does appear objects are available in advanced branching, and there is something special about links: the branch works with just the key but I also see nothing logged.

I'm gonna try this and see if I can get it to work as I expected it is an inward/outward link issue...

Yup, these worked

And...If you need to process these as a batch, consider merging the inward and outward links using list and text functions, and a created variable...Then the created variable can be split into a list to drive the Advanced Branch source.
