Jira query to create an issue with relate to

[Markisio]

HI there

I am trying to create a jira issue using IFTTT Integration Rules within confiform, what I need help is how to set issuelinktype relate to with list of epics that entered by the user in confifrom

in Confiform I have the following fields 

summary, priority, relateTo <-- this is list of jira issues/epics

This is what I have 

{

"fields":

{

"project": { "key": "XYZ" },

"priority": { "name": "[entry.priority.label]" },

"summary": "[entry.summary]",      

"issuetype": { "name": "Task" }

}

}

wondering how I can add Relate To within Issue Link Type

thanks

Hi @Markisio 

Do you know how the "relateTo" is set in Jira REST API? What is this? is this an issue links or a special custom field?

hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ 

sorry relateTo is a confiform field in confluence, I am using data from confiform to create jira ticket, what I want to add the value from confiform field (relateTo) to Jira issue/ticket under Issue Links --> relates to. screen shot below from jira

I think that's the field in jira  issueLinkType = "relates to" , don't think its custom field

I think this answers your question https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-use-rest-api-to-add-issue-links-in-jira-issues-939932271.html or at least gives an idea on how to set it up

thanks @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ haven't implemented yet, but it helps. However how would that work for list of relateTo, can I do for loop in query?

Could use Velocity foreach

#foreach(${ticket} in ${jiraTickets.getIds()})
"add":{
               "type":{
                  "name":"Blocks",
                  "inward":"is blocked by",
                  "outward":"blocks"
               },
               "outwardIssue":{
                  "key":"${ticket}"
               }
            }

#end

Assuming the field to hold multiple JIra issues is called jiraTickets

thanks @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ 

I did the following 

#if(${relateTo}) "update":{ "issuelinks":[{ #foreach(${ticket} in ${relateTo.getIds()}) "add":{ "type":{ "name":"Relates", "inward":"relates to", "outward":"relates to" }, "outwardIssue":{ "key":"${ticket}" } }, #end }] }, #end

result

"update": {

"issuelinks": [{

"add": {

"type": {

"name": "Relates",

"inward": "relates to",

"outward": "relates to"

},

"outwardIssue": {

"key": "X1"

}

},

"add": {

"type": {

"name": "Relates",

"inward": "relates to",

"outward": "relates to"

},

"outwardIssue": {

"key": "X2"

}

}

}]

},

however I am getting Invalid format. Duplicate key "add" :(

Well, regarding the JSON format what Jira expects please see the documentation on Jira REST APis... there is not much I can help you with

But the same keys in JSON objects are not possible as per JSON format

hi @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ 

I got it working, however it only works with single ticket, it seems there is an existing issue: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-81845 do you know when that fix so I can use the for loop?

{ "fields": { //FIELDS elements } #if(${relateTo}) , "update":{ "issuelinks":[ { "add":{ "type":{ "name":"Relates", "inward":"relates to", "outward":"relates to" }, "outwardIssue":{ "key":"[entry.relateTo.get(0).id]" } } } ] } #end }

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

Unfortunately I cannot force Atlassian to fix the bug... Please ask them about it
