Copy existing issue values to Create Linked Issue Screen fields

Question

Hello everyone, I'm trying to do this with Jira Scriptrunner Behaviours but with no luck. My use case needs to differentiate the create linked issue screen from regular create issue screen. I tried using the underlyingIssue variable but that doesn't seem to work on create issue screens.

Is there possibly another way?

Thanks a lot!

I did some more digging and trying and came up with this workaround

@ZubatyNos , have you found a solution or a workaround?

According to this thread https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/How-to-check-whether-the-screen-is-the-Create-linked-issue/qaq-p/1407876 it is not possible to differenciate between create issue and create linked issue operation in the behaviors.

Hi, thanks for the answer. This seems plausible maybe the question would then be about choosing the linked issue type (?) meaning that it either implements/is implemented by the parent issue etc.

The idea to have it change in the screen was that the person creating the linked issue could skim over the copied data and possibly change it, but yes this seems like an acceptable alternative.
