How to use IFTTT to link all selected jiras in a jira multi-select field as Dependent On

Miriam Cohen

In Jira, multiple issues may be linked as Depends On in a single operation.
In ConfiForms, is it possible to use a jira multi-select field (example manyJiras) and link all selections within a single IFTTT? For example something like the block below (although this code failed) or is there a way to iterate through each of the selections to run the operation on each jira one at a time within the same IFTTT?

{
"update":

{
"issuelinks":

[
{
"add":

{
"type":

{
"name": "Depends On"
},
"inwardIssue":

{
"key": "[entry.manyJiras]"
}
}
}
]
}
}

Thanks @Tomislav Tobijas. Digging further, after discovering that multiple add operations on links are not supported in IFTTT, I got creative to accomplish the linking this way.

My original CreateIssueForm ConfiForm contained these fields:
- JiraOfCreatedIssue (jira, single-select field)
- RelatedJiras (jira, multi-select field)

I created another JiraLinkingForm ConfiForm containing
fields
- SourceJira (jira, single-select field)
- DestinationJira (jira, single-select field)

and an IFTTT with

• Event: OnCreated
• Action: "Update Jira Issue"
• to perform the update operation to link the SourceJira to the DestinationJira.

Then, in CreateIssueForm, added an IFTTT with

• Event: OnCreated
• Action: "Copy ConfiForms Data" action

that flattened the data in RelatedJiras, creating entries in JiraLinkingForm that set
- SourceJira from JiraOfCreatedIssue
- DestinationJira from RelatedJiras

allowing JiraLinkingForm to do the linking one entry at a time.

Hope this helps others😉
