How do I set parent link to an initiative?

[Brandon Waring]

I am cloning an epic from another project, and when I do this, I'm trying to set the parent to an initiative in my project, but it's not working.

This is what I'm doing, except where ISSUE_KEY_HERE is, I've tried the initative key XXX-1234 as well as the URL https://jira.mydomain.com/browse/XXX-1234. I didn't expect the link to work but I did expect the key. 

{
  "fields": {
     "Parent link": "ISSUE_KEY_HERE"
  }
}

What am I doing wrong?

Hey Brandon,

Don't think you're doing something wrong here - Rather the "Parent Link" field is a "special" field and A4J currently doesn't support this field: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-79

Thanks for letting me know. I'll keep checking that link to see if it gets resolved.
