Hi @Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

Yes. It is not a sub-task, it is a linked issue. Could you please tell us how to retrieve the custom field value from linked issue and compare that value against the custom field value in current issue?

For example.,

Issue A - field AA

Issue B - field BB

Issue A is linked to Issue B. I want to compare field AA and field BB. Kindly help us in providing the code for the same

.getParentObject() will return null if the current issue is not a sub-task, but it mght also be that it can't render the object directly as plain text in your error message.  Try  issue.getParentObject().getKey() for the issue key in plain text.
