Is possible this CF+Script?

[DanielG]

Hi,

I want to implement a Custom Field in Jira that counts how many links (in total) that depends of issue. Let me to explain better: the only that I want is that have a issue 'A' in project that have another (for example) that depends of issue 'A'. So in CF that I want to create, in this example will have value '1' because only have 1 issue that depends of this issue.

Is this possible to implement in Jira?

Thanks in advance,

Daniel

I do this script with 'Script Runner' plugin and the following code (if any is interested :D ):

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import org.apache.log4j.Category
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
double numberLinks = 0
linkType = ["Duplicate"]

linkMgr = ComponentManager.getInstance().getIssueLinkManager()
for (IssueLink link in linkMgr.getInwardLinks(issue.id)) {
        if (linkType.contains(link.issueLinkType.name)) {
            	numberLinks = numberLinks + 1

    }
 
}
return numberLinks

to make it more groovy...

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
def linkType = ["Duplicate"]

return ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id)).count {
        linkType.contains(it.issueLinkType.name)
}

Hi,

you can use the Script Runner plugin and create a scripted custom field which counts the links.

Just to note - it will show correct value on issue view screen, but for accurate value in issue navigator (and search indexes) you should develop some sort of reindexing for linked issues.

Really? I think the act of linking causes both source and target to be reindexed.
