How to keep linked issues id once data is moved to other instance

Sara Lam

Hello,

We have a project (something like service desk ticket) that has relatively high volume. We can archive the data into another JIRA instance only for this high volume project following the instructions

https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA062/Restoring+a+Project+from+Backup

However, some of the tickets are linked to other projects. Once I moved data to the archived instance, the issue links will not exist anymore. Is there a way to store (even in text) the linked issue IDs in another field? Like a scripted field? How do other companies deal with this situation? I believe the change history of the ticket still have the linked issue IDs but how can I extract the data in Navigator?

Thank you for your help,

Sara

I use changeHistoryManager in a script field to get the history. (Thanks to Script Runner)

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.history.ChangeItemBean

def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()

def changeHistoryManager = componentManager.getChangeHistoryManager()

def ch = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "Link")

if (ch) {

return ch as String

}

else {

return null

}
