How can I access an issues's Web Link field in an automation?

Question

I am trying to create a Jira automation where I take the URL is its Web Link field and copy it to another issue. I am looking via the API and cannot find where the link is stored to reference the specific field name.

Any thoughts on how I can reference it?

Thanks!

Hi @Glenn A

I believe the link may be found with the Send Web Request action and calling this REST API endpoint: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-remote-links/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-remotelink-get

To copy it to another issue, try this one: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-remote-links/#api-rest-api-3-issue-issueidorkey-remotelink-post

Kind regards,
Bill

ok, from reading around, it looks like this is hidden/inaccessible? BOO!

What's a plan B to pull a URL from an issue and insert it into another?
