Hi, I think this question might be helpful for you:

How to keep parent-child relationship between Azurenode and Jira (old community)

If you don’t need Exalate to create the Links in Jira, you then will need to send the issue links from jira:

//Outgoing Jira

replica.issueLinks = issue.issueLinks

And then on the incoming in Azure, set the parent Id base on it:

//Incoming Azure
def jiraParentLink = replica.issueLinks.find{it.linkName == "is related to"}
if(jiraParentLink){
  def localParentKey = nodeHelper.getLocalIssueKeyFromRemoteId(jiraParentLink.otherIssueId)
  workItem.parentId = localParentKey?.id
}

Can you detail out how what you would like to achieve?
There are multiple ways of creating links…

Sorry for an unelloborated Question !!

This is my Requirement , I need to Sync the Jira Linked Issues <--> the ADO linked issues

In this Snapshot , U can see i have linked the MOB-37171 is linked to its parent MOB-37186 in jira( Link Type : is related to ).
So , i see that the issue MOB-37171 is already synced in ADO… however , the corresponding Work Item for MOB-37171 in ADO is not linked with respective Parent WorkItem in ADO.

So

On Jira - you have J1 linked with J2 using the ‘is related’ link type
On ADO - you have A1 (the twin of J1) and the A2 (the twin of J2)

What you want to achieve is that A1 is also linked with A2 using some linktype
