Incoming webhook: remove issuelink

[Jasmin Müller]

Hi guys,

I need to link/unlink issues via an Incoming webhook trigger.

For adding issue links, I currently use 'Edit issues' action with the following additional fields:

{
    "update": {
        "issuelinks": [
         {
            "add": {
                "type": {
                    "id": "{{webhookData.issuelinktype}}"
                 },
                 "outwardIssue": {
                    "key": "{{webhookData.link}}"
                  }
              }
        }
        ]
    }
}

However, 'remove' is not supported.

I checked the unlink issues action, but I cannot use smart values for the issuelinktype (I have to determine this!) - otherwise I would have to provide a webhook for each possible issuelinktype.

Any other possibilities I missed?

Best, J.

Hi @Jasmin Müller 

Have you already resolved this?

If not, the only way I found to remove things from list fields (e.g. Component, Labels, Version, Links) is to treat them like strings, and...

• join to convert to a delimited string, such as CSV
• use string functions and RegEx to remove the target value(s)
• as needed, split back into a list before updating a field

Best regards,

Bill
