Condition for Clone of issue

[Alex Cumberland]

I am updating a transition in the workflow with a clone as part of the transition.   It will clone the issue from the "Customer" project to the "Development Team" project when the customer issue is approved.

However, I would like to add a condition that would allow this to happen only if the issue has not already been cloned.  In the set up there is a section for Condition but I have not been able to get it to work if there is already a cloned issue off the issue and it just clones a new issue.

Here is the condition that I have tried to get working:

!issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.getId())*.issueLinkType.name.contains('is cloned by')

Like I said it just ignores it and creates a new clone anyway.

Here is the screen that I am talking about:

Hi Alex,

Could you try the following?

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

// Services & Managers
def issueLinkManager = ComponentAccessor.issueLinkManager


//--------------------------------------------------------------
// You must change the following variables as your needs
//--------------------------------------------------------------
def linkDesc = "is cloned by"
//--------------------------------------------------------------


// Look for all linked issues
def anyInwardLinkedIssues = issueLinkManager.getInwardLinks(issue.id).any{issueLink -> issueLink.issueLinkType.inward.equalsIgnoreCase(linkDesc)}
def anyOutwardLinkedIssues = issueLinkManager.getOutwardLinks(issue.id).any{issueLink -> issueLink.issueLinkType.outward.equalsIgnoreCase(linkDesc)}
return !(anyInwardLinkedIssues || anyOutwardLinkedIssues)
