link issues using script

[Georges Moubarak]

Hi,

I am linking issues by using the blow code

issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(),issueObject.getId(),10003,1,issue.getAssignee());

This line of code links the issues and makes the assignee as the action maker. 

I need to set a specific user to be the action maker of the linking. How to update the above code to do so?

You should be able to get the user like in the following snippet and replace "issue.getAssignee()" with "user" like on the last line:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
def user = userManager.getUserByKey("admin")
// get by username below, above gets user by key (incase user is renamed)
//userManager.getUserByName("admin")

issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(), issueObject.getId(), 10003, 1, user);

Dear @Adam Markham [Adaptavist],

I tried your script but got the below error:

[scriptrunner.jira.workflow.ScriptWorkflowFunction] Script function failed on issue: CR-9423, actionId: 1881, file: <inline script>
groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.DefaultIssueLinkManager.createIssueLink() is applicable for argument types: (java.lang.Long, java.lang.Long, java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer, com.atlassian.jira.user.DelegatingApplicationUser) values: [88828, 108907, 10003, 1, jiraadmin(jiraadmin)]

Your probably on JIRA 6. They changed User to ApplicationUser for JIRA 7. For 6 Please use: 

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
 
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
def user = userManager.getUserByKey("admin").directoryUser
// get by username below, above gets user by key (incase user is renamed)
//userManager.getUserByName("admin")
 
issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(issue.getId(), issueObject.getId(), 10003, 1, user);
