Copy the "mentioned-in" link (link to confluence page) from the parent-issue to the new sub-task.

Hi There, I have a requirement to copy the "mentioned-in" link (link to confluence page) from the parent-issue to the new sub-task.

1. I have tried using scriptrunner approach to create sub-task and copy "All" the fields and unfortunately it does not copy "mentioned-in" link. I have also tried to exclusively specify the field values and included "issue links" and that did not help either.

2. Using JSU, tried to copy the "Issue Links" but the option is not available.

Do anyone have tips or tricks to get this working?

Hi Madhusudhan,

A Jira issue will only include a "mentioned in" link to a Confluence page if the issue is referenced in the page with a Jira Issue Macro - see the first sub-heading here: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/confluence/link-jira-issues-to-confluence-pages-automatically. This is computed automatically by the application: you cannot add it yourself, either in the UI or through the Jira API. The only way you could make a sub-task have the same "mentioned in" link as its parent would be if you changed the content of the relevant Confluence page so that it mentioned the subtask as well as the parent.

Hey @Joanna Choules,

Thanks for your response, that was helpful and makes sense. But then can we instead copy this as "Wiki link" ? From Parent to Sub-Task ?

The need here being that wiki page is a release notes for the Release Jira and we have sub-task releases for different regions and it would be nice to have the release notes reference on those as well.

Hope that helps give you the background.

Thanks,
Madhu

Hi Madhu,

If 'Wiki link' is a regular custom field then yes, you should be able to copy it from parent to subtask in the same way you would for any custom field. Or do you mean something else by 'wiki link'?

Hey @Joanna Choules

Sorry "wiki link" I mean when we try to associate any Jira with a confluence page, it's saved as "wiki link" . You can try on any of your Jira's by trying to link to a confluence page and it will be saved as "wiki link"

Let me know if that answers your enquiry.

Thanks,
Madhu

@Joanna Choules @Madhusudhan Matrubai I used this script to copy the confluence link from parent to Linked issues. It works like a charm. But I would like to validate before creating the link. If the confluence link already exists on the Linked issue then ignore creating the link.

How can we validate it?

Thanks,
