Hi,

Is there a way to map issue links in Jira Cloud for incoming sync, an equivalent of that for server?

IssueLinks.receive(
linkTypeMapping = [
// replace the mapping below acordindly "Remote side" : "Local side"
"Blocks" :``"Relates"
]
)

I could only find these documents:

https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+sync+issue+links+on+Jira+Cloud

https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/IssueLinks.groovy

Thanks and regards,

Marianne

Hello Marianne,

Could you try this method:

def linkTypeMapping = [
  // replace the mapping below accordingly     "Remote side" : "Local side"
   "Blocks" : "Relates"
]
issue.issueLinks = replica.issueLinks.collect { link -> link.linkTypeName = (linkTypeMapping[link.linkTypeName])? linkTypeMapping[link.linkTypeName] : link.linkTypeName }

I hope this worked on your side.

But I could look further if you could tell us more about the use-case.
