Linking multiple issues using a Scheduled Jira Automation task

Simon Evans_cy7kcw

I have a scheduled automation task that runs every X days and then creates a task. I am able to link a single issue within this task. Great.

What i'd like to be able to do is to link all tickets generated using this automation so as to build up a history, or (preferable) use JQL to link them via say their Description.

At the moment I can only see a way to link one issue via the issue key.

Hi @Simon Evans - Can you please confirm my understanding of what you're trying to accomplish?

On a schedule, task gets created
Task gets linked to some other issue
Desire to also link the created task to some static master task

Is this correct?

If so, after your Create Issue action, you can add this:

BRANCH (Recently Created Issue)
- ACTION: Link Issue
  - Your Master Issue Key

Hi @Mark Segall thanks for the response.

This is what i want to achieve:

On a schedule, task gets created
Task gets linked to other issues based on JQL query

Currently i have this

On a schedule, task gets created
Task gets linked to one other issue only

Got it - So you'll want to do this after your issue is created:

BRANCH: JQL
- Whatever other issues you want linked to your new issue
- ACTION: Link Issue
  - Your desired Link Type
  - Most Recently Created Issue
