Set linked issue

[Dan27]

Hello!

I want to set a linked issue with groovy post function.

My current code didn't work... why ? Thanks!

def newFeatureIssue = issueManager.getIssueObject(temp) // Epic issue key here
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def featureLink = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Parent Feature")
featureLink.updateValue(null, issue, new ModifiedValue(issue.getCustomFieldValue(featureLink), newFeatureIssue),new DefaultIssueChangeHolder())
def user = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false)

Hello,

if you want to set a link then your code should look like this;

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()
def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
linkMgr.createIssueLink(11111, 22222, 33333, 1, currentUser)

Thanks @Alexey Matveev ,

Do you know how can I take the issue link type of inward ? I find the id of the link but how can I refer to the inward specifically ?

Thank you!

[Alexey Matveev]

Hello,

Each link has the outward and inward descriptions. Do you mean that you want to know the id of the inward description? If so, you do not need it. 

When you create a link between issues using createIssueLink, the first variable is the source issue(outward) and the second variable is the destination issue (inward).

Thanks !! you right :) @Alexey Matveev

The only problem is that the link is added and not switch.. How can I delete the previous one ??

[Alexey Matveev]

It would be something like this:

    def linkMgr = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager();
    def issueLink = linkMgr.getIssueLink(sourceIssue.getId(), destinationIssue.getId(), linkTypeID);
   if (issueLink != null) {
      linkMgr.removeIssueLink(issueLink, user);
   }

The IssueLinkManager class is responsible for handling links. You can have a look at all available methods here:

@Alexey Matveev Put this code before or after the 

createIssueLink

?

When I put it after, it deleted the link I just added, I need to delete the previous one. 

[Alexey Matveev]

You should put it before the createIssueLink

Hi, I did it like this, and it worked in the console..

I copy it to post function.. not working, why is that ?

//remove the new feature
issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id).each {IssueLink iLink ->
if(iLink.getLinkTypeId() == 10402){ //Feature Epic

Issue linkedIssue = iLink.sourceObject
issueLinkManager.removeIssueLink(iLink, user);
}
}
def userManager = ComponentAccessor.userManager
//Add the previous feature
try
{
issueLinkManager.createIssueLink(PrevFeature.getId() as Long,issue.getId() as Long, 10402L as Long, 1 as Long, user);
//issue.store();
//ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().updateIssue(user, issue, EventDispatchOption.ISSUE_UPDATED, false);
}
catch (Exception e) {
throw e
}

Is this post function in the create issue tranistion? If so, is it last in the list of post functions? What are the errors? What does not work?

[Dan27]

@Alexey Matveev , It is a post function of 'change parent' , and I put it first inside epic workflow.

There are no error, the link didn't change.. I try to take the previous one, and switch the new one with the previous..
