Is there a way to create this automation?:
If my issue, CAT-1 is linked to DOG-1, then also link my CAT-1 to DOG-2.
Result:
CAT-1 relates to DOG-1
CAT-1 relates to DOG-2
Hello @April_Delay
Yes, Automation Rules can be used to create links between issues. There is a Link Issues action you can use for that.
But, how do you know that CAT-1, linked to DOG-1, also needs to be linked to DOG-2?
It's a hacky way of making another parent-like view.
DOG-2 is the would-be parent of DOG-1 so CAT-1 will always be related. It's incredibly annoying but the only work-around until Jira allows multiple parents on a single issue.
The use case is a team is doing work on CAT-1 which has it's own traditional hierarchy like...
ANIMAL-1
is a parent of
FELINE-1
CAT-1
But I also want to see how CAT satisfies somthing like
HAPPY-1
PETS-1
Can't, so instead I need link CAT-1 to PETS-1 and auto-link it to HAPPY-1 every time.
What I'm trying to get at is how do you know that CAT-1 needs to be linked to PETS-1, so that you could write an Automation Rule to handle that.
What event in Jira would you want to trigger the linking of CAT-1 to PETS-1? Should that happen automatically when CAT-1 gets linked to FELINE-1?
How do you know that it is PETS-1 specifically to which CAT-1 needs to be linked? Is there some relationship between PETS-1 and FELINE-1 that you expect to leverage?
I'm not sure if I have references PETS and FELINE correctly to match your example.
Oh! Yes, the event is issue link. When a user links CAT-1 to FELINE-1, the automation also links it to PETS-1.
PETS-1 and FELINE-1 do not have a relationship. This means we'll have to create an automation per desired outcome. Bummer.
It would be extra nice if....
When a user links CAT-1 to FELINE-1 or CANINE-1 or BIRD-1, the automation also links to PETS-1.
