Scriptrunner - getting linked issues

[Chris Shepherd]

I have the following code in a Scriptfield:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.ManagerFactory
import com.atlassian.jira.config.properties.APKeys
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.LinkCollectionImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
 
def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.ListLinks")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)


String results = "";
def valid = false;
List<IssueLink> allOutIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId());
 for (Iterator<IssueLink> outIterator = allOutIssueLink.iterator(); outIterator.hasNext();) {
 IssueLink issueLink = (IssueLink) outIterator.next();
 ;
 def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()
 String type = linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName();
 
 log.debug(type) 
 }

When I run it against an issue with one linked issue & 2 sub-tasks,  it only lists the subtasks.  How do I get the linked issue ?

[Alexey Matveev · Accepted solution]

I guess your linked issue is inward. You should make two cycles: one with ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId()) and the other one with ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getInwardLinks(issue.getId()). It would be something like this

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.ManagerFactory
import com.atlassian.jira.config.properties.APKeys
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.LinkCollectionImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
 
def log = Logger.getLogger("com.acme.ListLinks")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)


String results = "";
def valid = false;
List<IssueLink> allOutIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId());
 for (Iterator<IssueLink> outIterator = allOutIssueLink.iterator(); outIterator.hasNext();) {
 IssueLink issueLink = (IssueLink) outIterator.next();
 ;
 def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()
 String type = linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName();
 
 log.debug(type) 
 }

List<IssueLink> allInIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getInwardLinks(issue.getId());
 for (Iterator<IssueLink> outIterator = allInIssueLink.iterator(); outIterator.hasNext();) {
 IssueLink issueLink = (IssueLink) outIterator.next();
 ;
 def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()
 String type = linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName();
 
 log.debug(type) 
 }

Heads up for anyone using this in the future: When getting the linkedIssue for Inward Links, you should grab the source object rather than the destination. Getting the destination object will return your original issue for an inward link. 

So, toward the end of the file, use: 

def linkedIssue = issueLink.getSourceObject()

@Devan Corona  Thanks ! for pointing that out ;)

Thanks Alexey,
You certainly pointed me in the right direction, except with inward links I needed the source object not the destination object.
cheers

For others, here is my code that checks to see if we have a change control linked to an issue:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import groovy.xml.MarkupBuilder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import com.atlassian.jira.ManagerFactory
import com.atlassian.jira.config.properties.APKeys
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.LinkCollectionImpl;
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLink;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;


String results = "";
def valid = false;

List<IssueLink> allOutIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getOutwardLinks(issue.getId());
for (Iterator<IssueLink> outIterator = allOutIssueLink.iterator(); outIterator.hasNext();) {
 IssueLink issueLink = (IssueLink) outIterator.next();
 def linkedIssue = issueLink.getDestinationObject()
 String type = linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName();
 if(type.contains("Change"))
 {
 valid = true;
 results += linkedIssue.getKey() + "<br />"
 }
}

if(valid){return results;}

allOutIssueLink = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getInwardLinks(issue.getId());
for (Iterator<IssueLink> outIterator = allOutIssueLink.iterator(); outIterator.hasNext();) {
 IssueLink issueLink = (IssueLink) outIterator.next();
 def linkedIssue = issueLink.getSourceObject()
 String type = linkedIssue.getIssueType().getName();
 if(type.contains("Change"))
 {
 valid = true;
 results += linkedIssue.getKey() + "<br />"
 }
}
if(valid){return results;}

return "No change control"

Hi @Chris Shepherd ,

I linked issues of instance A with instance B, while reporting under link column it shows nothing. Do you have any Script to show linked issues in the list?
