Need to close a issue type when the issue is marked as duplicate or is duplicate in JIRA

Garden16__h3vuuz

I would like to close a issue when ever the issue is linked by duplicate to another issue.

How could this be achieved in JIRA using script runner. Please note that I am currently using JIRA 8.2 .I d not have automation in Jira

When ever the issue is linked to another issue as the duplicate , I would like to triggers an event or have listeners that marks the issue as closed. The issue can be in any status and it if it is updated as marked duplicate in the issue links,  I would like to mark the issue as closed.

Hi @Garden16_

For your requirement, I suggest trying something like this:-

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink

def issueLink = event.issueLink as IssueLink

if (issueLink.issueLinkType.outward == 'duplicates') {
    issueLink.sourceObject.transition('Done') {
        setComment('This is a duplicate')
    }
}

Please note that the sample working code above is not 100% exact to your environment. Hence, you will need to make the required modifications.

Below is a screenshot of the Listener configuration:-

This code automatically transitions the issue that has been linked as a duplicate to the Done status.

Once you have created the issue, link it to the duplicate Link Type, and it will automatically transition to done status.

I hope this helps to answer your question. :-)

Thank you and Kind regards,

Ram
