How to sync removed epic link

Originally asked by Thomas Fox on 09 March 2020 (original question)


We are using exalate 4.7.1 to synchronize issues between 2 Jira server instances.

The implementation is according to https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/display/ED/How+to+synchronize+epics: We have Epic.sendEpicFirst() at almost the end (Status sync coming later) of the outgoing sync script and Epic.receive() at almost the end of our incoming script. We are using the Epic Script from the branch JISES-90-adapting-scripts-to-4.7 from https://stash.idalko.com/projects/EESFJS/repos/exalate-external-scripts-library-for-jira-server/

We see the following: If an Epic is assigned to a ticket, the epic link is synchronized. Also, if an Epic link is changed, the change is synchronized. So far, the epic link synchronisation works as expected.

However, if an Epic link is removed, the change is not synchronized. How can we proceed to synchronize the removal of an epic link?

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for raising this community question.

The Epic.groovy script currently does not support the removal of Epic links. I will create a development ticket to add this feature.

Thanks,

André

Hi,

Does the Epic.groovy script already support removing Epic links? We faced the same problem.
