Creating issue links in cloud

Originally asked by Micah Figone on 22 July 2020 (original question)


For server there is https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+create+a+Jira+link+between+issues+in+local+sync

But there is no equivalent for cloud in the docs. Any ideas?

Hi Micah!

You can use the httpClient to make any request to the Jira Cloud REST API, here is our documentation on it:

https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+make+any+Jira+Cloud+REST+API+call+with+the+Jira+Cloud+HTTP+client

Together with this documentation on how to use the Jira REST API to create issue links, you should be able to create issue links in Jira Cloud from the Exalate scripts using the httpClient! :smile:
