Retrieving links of Epic via EXPR

Mikhail Kouyantsev

Hi, everybody.
I'm using "Strucuture for JIRA" plugin and bumped into a problem when configuring a formula column - I was unable to get a collection of links for the epic of issue in context. I tried several forms:
epic.issueLinks
this.epic.issueLinks
this.epicLink.issueLinks
epicLink.issueLinks
Nothing worked.
Please, help me to find out the correct syntax for this formula.

P/S. I know, I can include epics into the structure and address to the attributes of parent, but it's not a solution in this case.

Hi @Mikhail Kouyantsev

Dionathan with ALM Works here.

If I understood it correctly, you just want to show in a Formula Column the Epic to which the issue is linked, is that correct?

If yes, you could try using the code "epic" or you could add a new Column "Epic Link".

Both alternatives will be like the following:

Please let me know if it does help.

Hello, Dionathan!
No, I've got another case.
Link hierarchy is as follows:
Project 1 Story 1 -> contains -> Project 2 Epic -> Epic of -> Project 2 User Story1.

And I want to make a column showing Project 1 Story 1 for Project 2 User Story 1. In other words I want to have "PROF-142" instead of "USM-2421" in formula column

Hi @Mikhail Kouyantsev

Thanks for the detailed information.

In this case, you could try the following codes, depending on how the link is configured in your instance (PS: this formula will work only on the latest versions of Structure (V7.0 +):

Parent{issuelinks.source}

Parent{issuelinks.destination}

Please refer to this article for more information: Aggregate Function Reference

If any further questions, let me know.

Best Regards,

@Dionathan Lopes {ALM Works} thank You, but no
As i said previously:
I know, I can include epics into the structure and address to the attributes of parent, but it's not a solution in this case.

I just need to iterate throughout the collection of the links of the epic in order to find... something. And I will have no epics in my structure. I gave You a pic just to show You the dependencies between tasks.

AFAIR, we were told previously, that we could use dotted expressions, like:
