Can we target other issue, not the current issue using the jira expression, in JMWE?

Nicolas Andika

So, I have 2 different projects, let's say project A and project B, i have put the issue in fix version in project A, and in project B i create custom fields short text, to put the name of the fix version, and i want to validate from the custom fields in project B, is the name of the fix version exist in project A or not, is it possible to do that?

Hi @Nicolas Andika,

You can use new Issue(ISSUE_KEY) to load an issue with the given key and then get the field values of this issue, for example: 

let otherIssue = new Issue("JMWE-1");
otherIssue.fixVersions

In the above example, I'm retrieving the issue with key JMWE-1 and then retrieving its Fix Versions in line #2.

So, if you want to check that the value of the short text field of current issue exists in the Fix Versions of another issue -> you can use the below Jira Expression:

let otherIssue = new Issue("JMWE-1");
!issue.customfield_10900 || otherIssue.fixVersions.some(it => (it.name == issue.customfield_10900))

You need to replace

• JMWE-1 in line #1 with the desired issue key, whose Fix Versions you want to retrieve.
• 10900 in line #2 with the ID of the short text field.

I hope this helps!
