Notification on linked issue update

[Vassili Gorbenko]

Is there any way to get notification if linked issue (not sub-task) changed its status?

Hi @Vassili Gorbenko

when an issue changes status by workflow action an event is fired. You can configure who gets that event in the notification schema.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver073/creating-a-notification-scheme-861253478.html

you can use custom events in a workflow to refine the configuration

plugins like scriptrunner can allow you  to conditionally fire custom events

Hi @Tom Lister, will it work for case when issue A status changed and linked issue B assignee will receive notification about issue A status change? Speaking in a business requirements language issue B assignee have no relation to issue A and don't knowanything about it, but need to stat work on issue B, when issue A is closed.

Hi @Vassili Gorbenko

I would use scriptrunner or similar to achieve this.

Write a groovy post function that will be processed when the issue A status is changed. Post function will go through the links to issue B's and make a transition on issue B which will fire a notification. You can create a link type with a name  you will specifically use to identify all links being processed or some other criteria.
