Create a linked issue as part of a workflow transition

Laura Phillips

I am trying to get the create linked issue screen to appear as part of a workflow from jira service desk so I can create a corresponding development task in a jira software project, I had hoped to be able to to this as part of the transition from investigating to pass to closed/passed to dev.

 

However I cannot find the screen to transition to as its not one in the drop down list and I cannot locate it anywhere in configuration.

The create linked issue comes in the edit screen when you click the '...' along with the other non-workflow options.

 

I have checked the help but nothing seems to match.

Anyone done this?

Hi Laura,

Could you please explain how exactly are you trying to achieve this? 

If I had to do something like this my goto option would be a workflow post function.

I'm not sure if a post function to create linked issues is available in Jira out of the box however, so you might wanna check out various 3rd party addons which add this functionality.
