Get linked issues of a linked issue

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

I have three issues - "issueA", "issueB", "issueC". These issues have the following links:

- "issueA" has two inward links to "issueB", "issueC"

- "issueB", "issueC" has outward links to "issueA"

Briefly, I have issue B. Then I want to get all linked issues if issue B such as issue A. Then I want to get all linked issues of issue A and they are issueB and and issue C. 

I am running this code in Post-Function of transition "In Progress" from issue B to get outward links of "issueA", but it returns issue A and it is wrong:

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.user.ApplicationUser
import com.atlassian.jira.user.util.UserManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParameters
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;
import com.opensymphony.workflow.loader.ActionDescriptor
import com.opensymphony.workflow.loader.StepDescriptor
import com.atlassian.jira.bc.issue.IssueService
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueInputParametersImpl

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.CreateSubtask")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG) 

def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("issueB")
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).each{ issueLink ->
    def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject() 
    if(linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName() == 'Epic') { 
        log.info('1.1 ***EPIC.*** Issue type is Epic. The epic issue is: ' 
            + linkedIssue 
            + '***EPIC***') //Here we get issue A. It is ok
        log.info('1.2 linkedIssue.id: ' + linkedIssue.id) 
        def linkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
        log.info("1.3 * linkManager*") 
        linkManager.getInwardLinks(linkedIssue.id).each{ fooLink ->
            def fooIssue = fooLink.getDestinationObject(); 
            log.info('2.2.* FooIssue: ' + fooIssue 
                + '. Type of fooIssue is: ' + fooIssue.issueType.name + '*') 
 }    }
}

However "linkManager"(issueLinkManager) returns "issue A", but "linkManager"(issueLinkManager) should return "issueB" and "issueC" cause I am giving to it 'issueA'.

The Logs looks like this:

2018-07-11 17:29:27,052 INFO [acme.CreateSubtask]: 1.1 ***EPIC.*** Issue type is Epic. The epic issue is: issueA***EPIC***
2018-07-11 17:29:27,052 INFO [acme.CreateSubtask]: 1.2 linkedIssue.id: 28685
2018-07-11 17:29:27,052 INFO [acme.CreateSubtask]: 1.3 * linkManager*
2018-07-11 17:29:27,054 INFO [acme.CreateSubtask]: 2.2.* FooIssue: issueA. Type of fooIssue is: Epic*

Guys, how can I read correctly inward links of linked issue 'issueA'?

Big thanks to ScriptRunner support! 

Mistake was to use getDestinationObject() instead of getSourceObject().

The whole code looks like this:

def issue = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager().getIssueObject("issueB")
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).each{ issueLink ->
    def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject() 
    if(linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName() == 'Epic') { 
        log.info('1.1 ***EPIC.*** Issue type is Epic. The epic issue is: ' 
            + linkedIssue 
            + '***EPIC***') //Here we get issue A. It is ok
        log.info('1.2 linkedIssue.id: ' + linkedIssue.id) 
        def linkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()
        log.info("1.3 * linkManager*") 
        linkManager.getInwardLinks(linkedIssue.id).each{ fooLink ->
            def fooIssue = fooLink.getSourceObject(); 
            log.info('2.2.* FooIssue: ' + fooIssue 
                + '. Type of fooIssue is: ' + fooIssue.issueType.name + '*') 
 }    }
}

@zaharovvv_suek_ruI have exact requirement. I needs to check linked Task status for 2 issues and then 3rd needs to close.

Ex:

Issue A - (Story) --> Linked to Issue B (TASK) and Issue C (TASK) and Issue D (Request)

So

I needs Close Issue D if Issue B and Issue C closed that are linked to Issue A. So I am thinking to place this code on TASK workflow postfunction on Close.

How I can check both Issue B and Issue C status in  script ?

Thanks,

Om

Hi zaharov,

If you get outward links for A and the result is B, then if you get inward link for B, the result will be A... isn't it?

Editted: Oh I misread the coding, gonna check again.

You made log.info for linkedIssue and linkedIssue.id, shouldn't you use fooLink?

@Cristian Rosas [Tecnofor] I've updated my question. Please, see my question again. Thanks in advance.

Ok, now I don't see why it would say that the inward link of IssueA is IssueA :(

Just in case, even if this is an epic you are using links, not epic link and subtasks? I'm asking because I saw this:

INFO [acme.CreateSubtask]

I'll try to replicate it. Can you tell me where is this ubicated? (post-function in workflow creation step or transition step, listener....)

[zaharovvv_suek_ru]

I am running this code in Post-Function of transition "In Progress" from issue B to get outward links of "issueA", but it returns issue A and it is wrong.

This info INFO [acme.CreateSubtask] is shown by 

def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.CreateSubtask")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG) 

I've taken this code from here Adaptivist documentation:
