Linking issues automation

[Tetiana]

I have a project for monitoring tasks completion. The idea is to have tickets to be created either weekly or daily (issue A, issue B, issue C, etc). One control ticket - issue A (that should have things linked to it) is scheduled to be created weekly, on Mondays at certain hour, the rest as well just different hours.

My goal is to somehow link this issue type ticket (issue A) to all other issue types (B, C, D, E, etc.) that were created throughout the week. 

So it'd look like this: 

Monday at 9:00 issue A is created

It gets linked to issues B-etc. that have created date of the previous week.

And like this it goes every week.

Hi @Tetiana , 

As long as you give your created issues some Label (or other attribute) that you can use to search on, you can do the trick. 

In the below example, I assumed that the previously created issues have the label 'control-ticket'. And on this schedule issue creation, I search for issues with that label, created in the past 7 days. And as action, I link the returned issues to the issue that was just created by this rule. 

Would that meet your requirements? 

Have a nice day! Rik

I will be trying this, for sure! thanks!

Rik, can you please share, why the label is a must in this case? Could it be just linked to cases created 7 days ago? If I remove the label part from JQL, will it work?
