Trigger

[Suporte JRetail]

What is the trigger I need to put when an iten is linked to another? but the one that got the link at need to trigger an rule.

I don't know if I made it clear, if you didn't understand, just ask me and I'll respond.

Hi @Suporte JRetail - You'll want the Issue Linked trigger.  From the definition:

Rule executes when an issue is linked to another issue. {{issue}} will always refer to the source issue, so if ISSUE-A is blocked by ISSUE-B, this rule will execute on ISSUE-B. To access ISSUE-A, use {{destinationIssue}}, and to access the link type, use {{linkType}} (e.g. {{linkType}}

So, Jira doesn't look at it from the perspective of which issue initiated the link.  It cares about the link relationship so that's how you need to think about the rule execution.

If you provide additional context about the end goal for your rule, we can help in trying to configure that rule.

Hi @Mark Segall ,
So what I want to do is, I have 3 projects in my Jira, and in project 1 I have an field that I want to print the name of the project 2 or 3, if an iten from project 1 is linked on an iten from project 2 or 3.

I don't know if that made any sense, but if you want more information, just ask and I'll responde as soon as possible, thaks for the help.

I haven't verified myself, but this should work.  Basically, upon link, it will look at the current issue to see if it's project 1 or something else. 

• TRIGGER: Issue Linked
• IF CONDITION (Field Condition)
  • Project = Project 1
  • ACTION: Edit Issue (Your custom field)

    • {{destinationIssue.project.name}}

• ELSE CONDITION
  • Project = Project 2 
  • BRANCH (Destination Issue)
    • ACTION: Edit Issue (Your custom field)

    • {{triggerIssue.project.name}}

• ELSE CONDITION
  • Project = Project 3
  • BRANCH (Destination Issue)
    • ACTION: Edit Issue (Your custom field)

    • {{triggerIssue.project.name}}
