How to update a custom field value from parent issue into linked issue

Question

Hi, I'd like to update a custom field value from parent issue into linked issue. However, I didn't managed to update the linked issues although I got the linked issue list. Followed my script: long linkId = 10302long FIELD_ID3 = 13007 def issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager()def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()def cf3 = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(FIELD_ID3)def cf3Value = issue.getCustomFieldValue(cf3) def inwardLinks = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id)def links = "" inwardLinks.each { if(it.getLinkTypeId() == linkId){ links += "${it.getSourceObject().getKey()}
" }}Kindly,Gilad

Hi @Gilad Shtern This works on my server in the Script Console and seems quite fast. import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser import org.apache.log4j.Logger import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.UpdateValidationResult import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService.IssueResult import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager() def logit = Logger.getLogger('com.domain1.logging') ApplicationUser user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser() IssueService issueService = ComponentAccessor.issueService def issueId = "SCR-10" def customFieldId = 10200 // Text field Issue issueIn = issueService.getIssue(user, issueId).getIssue() // get issue from issueservice.IssueResult logit.info issueIn.key def outwardLinks = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issueIn.id) //def links = "" outwardLinks.each { //if(it.getLinkTypeId() == linkId){ //links += "${it.getSourceObject().getKey()}
" logit.info it.getDestinationObject().getKey() Issue issue = it.getDestinationObject() // } def issueInputParameters = issueService.newIssueInputParameters() issueInputParameters.setSkipScreenCheck(true) issueInputParameters.addCustomFieldValue(customFieldId, "value") UpdateValidationResult updateValidationResult = issueService.validateUpdate(user, issue.id, issueInputParameters) logit.info updateValidationResult.isValid() if (updateValidationResult.isValid()) { IssueResult updateResult = issueService.update(user, updateValidationResult) logit.info updateResult.isValid() if (!updateResult.isValid()) { // report error logit.info updateResult.getErrorCollection().toString() } } }

Hi @Gilad Shtern

In your code you have the list of inward links. And within the inwardlinks loop you can access the other side of the link using

Issue issue = it.getDestinationObject()
or just get the id it.getDestinationId()

(or it.getSourceObject or id if inward links are defined the other way around)

Looks like you already know your internal field id and method on the issueInputParameters.addCustomFieldValues only needs the id and value.

Or are you saying you would like to fire off a bulk update based on the links list?

re Slow - I'll test it out on my server. The issue service methods will ensure the update follows any conditions that would happen if you input data via a screen so may be a bit more involved but much safer. I wouldn't expect it to be any slower that a manual bulk update.

Where are you intending to run your script?
