How can we check if the 'parent' issue of a duplicate linkedIssue is not a duplicate of another?

Thanks to what Henning and Jamie have helped here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/139592, I know how to validate if the current issue has a duplicate link to another one (called parent)

Now, on top of that, I need add an additional checking that the parent that user has specified for this link should NOT be a duplicate of another parent. 

This sounds easy since I thought I could just get the Id of the parent issue of the link and check its own OutwardLinks to see if any of them is also Duplicate, something like this:

linkCnt = 0
 
request = webwork.action.ActionContext.getRequest()
if (request) {
    // check for new duplicates link
    linktype = request.getParameter('issuelinks-linktype')
    linkedIssue = request.getParameter('issuelinks-issues')
    
    if (linktype == 'duplicates' && linkedIssue)
    {   //----- This is the additional checking
        if(! issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(linkedIssue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Duplicate') )
	    	linkCnt = 1
    }
}
 
// check for existing duplicates link
if ( issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('Duplicate') ) linkCnt += 1
 
// Transition requires at least one duplicates link
(linkCnt>=1)

 

But this doesn't work correctly. I guess that it's because of  

linkedIssue.getId()

doesn't give me the correct Id of the parent (destination) issue of the link.

What is the correct function to use here to make this works?

Thanks

linkedIssue is a String, so it doesn't have an id property that you can retrieve. Therefore you will need to replace linkedIssue.getId() with this:

issueManager.getIssueObject(linkedIssue).id

On the other hand, request.getParameter('issuelinks-issues') will only return the first of the issues specified in the parameter, so it might be good to use the following and then iterate over the list of linked issues:

request.getParameterValues('issuelinks-issues')

Hope that helped.
