How to check if inward linked issue type is "Doc Needed"

Samuel Lee August 14, 2014

Hi,

I am trying to setup a listener using groovy-script-listener, it will listen to a custom field value. Setting the value to "yes" will trigger the "clone an issue and links" function.

It will clone the current issue wiith an inward link and set the issue type to "Doc Needed".

My question is how to check if there is an existing "Doc Needed" ticket linked to the affected ticket?

Any help will be apprieciated.

So far I have the following:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor


def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()

def hasDocType = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id).any{it.destinationObject.issueTypeObject.name == "Doc Needed"} 

log.warn("#######  hasDocType is :" + hasDocType + " &&&&& issue.key  &&&&&:  " + issue.key + "   ##################")

Hey Sam,

Here is some Java code that might help.

Collection<IssueLink> links = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId());
for(IssueLink link:links){
    if(link.getSourceObject().getIssueTypeObject().getName().equals("Doc Needed"))
        //Do Something
}

Hi Bhushan,

Cool, thank for the help. It works when I switched from destinationObject to sourceObject.
