How to get a indirectly linked issue

[Tina Something]

Hi all,

so I'm very new to Jira Groovy and I have following problem:

In my JIRA project I have Services which are implemented by Features which are implemented by Feature Increments. So I want to create a scripted field which shows the summary of the Service the Issue belongs to and I came up with he following code:

    import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
    import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager
    import com.atlassian.jira.bc.project.component.ProjectComponent
    import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue

    //The current user is needed as a parameter in some functions.
    def authenticationContext=ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
    def user=authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser()
    def linkManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager()

    //Get all issues that are linked via "implements".
    def linkedOfType =     linkManager.getLinkCollection(issue,user).getOutwardIssues("Implements")

    //When the issue implements something.
    for(issue in linkedOfType){
    
        //If the linked issue is a feature get this feature and search its     linked issues for service and return the summary of this service.
        if (issue.getIssueType().getName().toString().equals("Feature_Tile")){
       
          }    
    
        //If the linked issue is a service return the summary of this service.    
        if (issue.getIssueType().getName().toString().equals("Service")){
           String serviceName = issue.summary
           return serviceName
        }
    }  

The problem is now, that the field works fine if the issue implements a Service, but not if the issue implements a Feature, because I don't know how to get the linked Issues of this feature to search them for Services.
So my Question is: how can I get the Service if my issue only implements a Feature?

Hi Tina,

I think you should re-use your code from the Feature level to the service level,  something like:

...
//If the linked issue is a feature get this feature and search its     linked issues for service and return the summary of this service.
        if (issue.getIssueType().getName().toString().equals("Feature_Tile")){
               def linkedService = linkManager.getLinkCollection(issue,user).getOutwardIssues("Implements")
               for(iss in linkedService){
                     if (iss.getIssueType().getName().toString().equals("Service")){
                          return iss.summary
                     }
               }
          }    
...

Let us know if it works!

Cheers

Hi Micky,

thanks for your answer!

I think that would probably work fine, but I already managed to solve my problem, by rewriting my code and using a while loop with a switch in it.
