Copy {{pullrequest.url}} from triggerIssue to linked issue Custom Field

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to copy {{pullrequest.url}} from triggerIssue to it's linked issue custom field and it doesn't work as of now. Can you advice how to do that?

I've found information that this smart value can only be used with Pull request created trigger, but was unsuccessful to use with it , because linked issue can be created any time (even before PR is created) and I need PR link to be copied.

Please advice how can I get to that and thank you!

I am personally not too familiar with Scriptrunner's capabilities, but I believe it should be doable. There is rest API endpoints to fetch the PR data from Jira which you can access with Scriptrunner

See https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JIRA-REST-API-to-get-list-of-branches-related-to-a-issue/qaq-p/800389

Hopefully you can use that to solve your problem!

Cheers
Sam

thanks for answer Sam. No way to get PR url? May I do that using scriptrunner or it'll not work as well?

Hi @Shushan Kocharyan Unfortunately this isn't possible using the issue smart value like your rule is using. This is because the issue fields do not contain the full pull request information, hence why the `pullrequest` smart value is only available to the relevant triggers. You can see the full data the issue fields has access to by hitting /rest/api/3/issue/, where you can see that the pull request custom field only contains meta data about the pr, and not details such as the url Cheers Sam
