how to get list of associated issues (i,e Issues in Epic) for an EPIC Issue Type using Groovy script?

Question

Hi, can some one help on how to get list of associated issues (i,e Issues in Epic) for an EPIC Issue Type using a groovy script? From the associated issues list, I would like to check issue type of the "associated issues" using groovy script and need to update the specific custom field value, when a specific issue type = CIL in my post function. Is the below code snippet can be used to get the "Issue in Epic", but I am not sure what is the value should be used for "" for "Issues in Epic" unlike Blocks/Cloners, etc as it will not be defined as part of the "Issue linking". Please advice. def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager() def greatestDate;issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).each {issueLink -> if (issueLink.issueLinkType.name == "") { def linkedIssue = issueLink.destinationObject }}Please suggest how to get this in groovy script. * Manju

Apologies that I didn't get round to answering this. It sounds like you have a working script now. I've upvoted your answer too.

All, Please find the working script to get the list of associated issues (i,e Issues in Epic) for a EPIC issue Type. import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager() CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager() MutableIssue epicLink = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Epic Link")) as MutableIssue; final Collection issuesInEpic = new ArrayList(); if(epicLink.issueType.name=="Epic") { issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(epicLink.id).each {issueLink -> if (issueLink.issueLinkType.name == "Epic-Story Link") { Issue linkedIssue = issueLink.destinationObject //you can validate if any other specific issue type check is required if(linkedIssue.issueType.name == "Development Ready for Check-in"){ issuesInEpic.add(linkedIssue) log.info(linkedIssue) } } } }

I am trying to add you in this answer chain as we have done similar script to set the ITG-IN due date value of an EPIC into associated issues ITG-IN due date long back.
