[JMWE] How can I automatically link the issue to the parent? (Parent to Parent)

[RIZKY JTUASIKAL]

I have 2 different issue types, both of which are of type Parent

Parent “A”
Parent “B”

The question is :
How do I make sure that when I create Parent “B”, it will automatically link the issue to Parent “A”, with the type “Relates to”?

can I use this Post Function?

Link issues to the current issue (JMWE app)

Hi @RIZKY JTUASIKAL 

Is Parent A a fixed issue that will be linked to all newly created Parent issues? Otherwise, how is Parent A determined?

Hi @David Fischer ,

Is Parent A a fixed issue that will be linked to all newly created Parent issues?

>>
Yes, Parent “A” can be described as a fix issue, and later for every other Parent created, it needs to link to Parent “A”

Then you can add a Link Issues to the current issue post function to the Create transition and specify the Parent A issue key in the JQL: 

key="PAR-1"

Hi @David Fischer ,

once again, thank you for the answer @David Fischer 

I'm sorry, I wanted to ask you again,

if I have multiple Project Boards
Project Board 1 (project key: ABC-1)
Project Board 2 (project key: DEF-1)
Project Board 3 (project key: GHI-1), and so on.

it means that the query for the issue key cannot be specific? (cmiiw)

and how do I make sure that when link issue between Parent A and Parent, it can be of type “Relates to” (automatically)?

your help is very meaningful for us later,
thank you in advance

[David Fischer]

To have a different parent issue per project, you can use this kind of JQL:

{% switch issue.fields.project.key %}
  {% case "ABC" %}
    ABC-1
   {% case "DEF" %}
    DEF-1
   {% default %}
    XYZ-1
{% endswitch %}

As for the link type, you specify it on the configuration screen of the post-function  (under "Link Type")
