Hi, I found a script example for issuelinktype mapping in this community for Jira cloud. I want to map specific issuelinktypes from service desk to default Jira software issuelinktypes.

This is my incoming script:

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

Unfortunately, I get an exception:

class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class com.exalate.basic.domain.hubobject.v1.BasicHubIssueLink (java.lang.String is in module java.base of loader 'bootstrap'; com.exalate.basic.domain.hubobject.v1.BasicHubIssueLink is in unnamed module of loader 'app')

Any ideas?

Best, Jasmin

Hi Jasmin,

Let me try this question.

I guess the root cause is you are returning a list of issuelink type names instead of modifying the issuelink type names

import groovy.json.JsonSlurper;

def jsonSlurper = new JsonSlurper();
def originalList = jsonSlurper.parseText('[{"app":"Gauge Gadgets", "platform":"jira"}, {"app":"Out of Office", "platform": "jira"}]');
log.warn("---- original List ------")
log.warn(originalList);
//[{app=Gauge Gadgets, platform=jira}, {app=Out of Office, platform=jira}]



def partialList = [];
partialList = originalList.collect {element -> element.platform = 'Jira'};
log.warn(partialList);    
//This will return 
//[Jira, Jira]

def fullList = [];
fullList = originalList.collect { Map<String, Object> element -> 
    return [
        "app": element.app as String,
        "platform": "Jira" as String
        ]
};
log.warn(fullList)
//this method will return this
//[{app=Gauge Gadgets, platform=Jira}, {app=Out of Office, platform=Jira}]

You probably need to return something like this (and modify linkTypeName)

replica.issueLinks.collect { jLink ->
return [
                            "id" : jLink.id as String,
                            "linkTypeName" : jLink.issueLinkType.name as String,
                            "otherIssueId" : otherIssueId as String,
                            "otherIssueKey" : otherIssue.key,
                            "isOutward" : isOutward,
                            "linkTypeStyle" : jLink.issueLinkType.style
