Using R4J plugin, I'm unable to display the project field of a linked issueson a Word template

Question

Hello.

I'm trying to generate a specification document from my R4J Tree and I'm facing a issue when, for each issue of the tree, I try to display and use the project of a linked issue : null exception in the generated document.

Here is the extract of my template that generates the issue :

[[\if $.linkedissues.count > 0]]Linked requirements:
[[\variable.link_requirement ‘TRUE’]][[/variable]]
[[\each $.linkedissues]]
[[\if $.name = “contributes to”]]
Contributes to “[[$.issue.summary]]” ([[$.issue.key]]) [[$.issue.project]]
[[\wiki $.issue.description]] [[/wiki]]
[[\variable.link_requirement ‘FALSE’]][[/variable]]
[[/if]]
[[/each]]
[[\if $variable.link_requirement = ‘TRUE’]]
None.
[[/if]]

Thank for your help

Hi @Laurent PIANFETTI

I just copied your code into a Word document and tried to use it. It works fine for me. I am able to export without the null exception you mentioned.

Can you share the exact error you're experiencing?

Best regards,
Angelica

I tested this block of code that you have, and it does work. I just added a closing if block at the end.

If it's not working for you, there may be other parts of your template causing the null exception, so we'd need to have a look at your entire template.

If you require more assistance, our friendly support team will be happy to help!
