Jira Assets Cloud: Import data via API: how to define the type of reference (Ref, Technical, Dep etc

[thomas]

Hi,

In the GUI when editing or creating to an object you can refer to another object. An object reference also comes with a "type" of link like Dependency, Technical, etc which will define the link type in the object graph.

See screenshot below to image what I am talking about

It doesn't look like we can set the link "type" in an external/api import based on the latest JSON schema available. Is it supported?

We can see a 'pizza' type in the above image which seems to have been created via my JSON schema, below. I can only assume the link type name defaulted to the object attribute name using it... but is there a way to say it's a "Dependency" link?

"$schema": "https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/assets/imports/external/schema/versions/2023_10_19",
"schema": {
  "objectSchema": {
   ...
    "objectTypes": [
    {
      "externalId": "object-type/k8s",
      "name": "K8s",
      "description": "All K8s items",
      "children": [
        {
         "externalId": "object-type/k8s_space",
         "name": "Space2",
         ... 
       {
         "externalId": "object-type-attribute/pizza",
         "name": "pizza",
         "description": "something that will go poof",
         "type": "referenced_object",
         "referenceObjectTypeExternalId": "object-type/reference_items_cluster",
         "minimumCardinality": 1,
         "maximumCardinality": 1
       }
     ]
   }
  ]
  },
  {
    "externalId": "object-type/reference_items2",
    "name": "Reference Items2",
    "description": "A bunch of static stuff",
    "children": [
     {
      "externalId": "object-type/reference_items_cluster",
      "name": "Cluster",
      "description": "Cluster of servers"
     }
    ]
  }
 ]

PS: Unfortunately the forum code block didn't maintain indentation so I tried to recreate it quickly by hand so don't pay attention to it. The real JSON is valid.
