In addition to Ariels response, I reckon that you want to send the keys of the tickets which are linked to the issue under sync.

To iterate over all the linked tickets

  • Setup an issue with a number of links

1620×378 14.3 KB

  • Now you can write following snippet to iterate over all the links
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

String result = ""
String sep=""


issue.issueLinks.each { 
    result += sep + it.linkTypeName + " - " + ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssue(it.otherIssueId)?.key
    sep= ", "
    
}

debug.error("links = ${result}")

This results in  
  
links = Blocks - AN-421, Cloners - AN-420

Notes

  • More information on issueLinks is here
  • ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssue dereferences the otherIssueId

Hi Patrick,

We have documentation on how to do it using a custom field. Please take a look at this: https://docs.idalko.com/exalate/x/XQR1Aw

Let me know if this works for you.

Kind regards,

Ariel
