I’m using a visual connection with script.

This code displays the source link on the replica issue:

if (executionInstanceName == “Main”)

if(firstSync){  
syncHelper.syncBackAfterProcessing()  
issue.customFields.“Remote Link”.value = remoteIssueUrl  
}

But reverse engineering it doesn’t work to display the replica link on the source issue:

if (executionInstanceName == “ServiceDesk”)

if(firstSync){  
syncHelper.syncBackAfterProcessing()  
issue.customFields.“Remote Link”.value = remoteIssueUrl  
}

You have to move setting the remote link outside the if (firstsync) block
