_Originally asked by Berry Kersten on 06 October 2020 [(original question)](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/questions/20119841)_ * * * Hi, When an issue is under sync AND an issue link is created (e.g. relates to), then it triggers a sync (as the issue is updated). This is unwanted as there’s nothing new to sync in this use case. How can I disable this ‘trigger’, so that the issue is not synced when an issue link is created? * * * ---

_Answer by Francis Martens (Exalate) on 06 October 2020_ Normally it shouldn’t trigger a message if nothing changed. Can you try following approach - Create a local connection - Add in the incoming sync a ‘throw new Exception(“Hello”)’ - Start a sync This will throw an error - Collect the remote replica from the error details (call it replica1) - Comment out the exception - Resolve and retry the error - Uncomment the exception - Add an issue link - Collect the remote replica again from the error details (call it replica2 - Compare replica1 and replica2 Let us know * * *
