Hi ,

I am using JIRA python to update to issue link(duplicate link) for JIRA id and it works fine.

Now i want to remove those issue link from that JIRA id 

Any Idea pls

I am able to do in using below code

#getting issue links

#create JIRA instance
self.jira = JIRA(basic_auth=(self.jira_username, self.jira_api_token), options={"server": self.jira_server})

#Pass JIRA name and get Issue links
idl=self.jira.issue(jiraid) # passing JIRA name
getIssuelinks=idl.fields.issuelinks #issuelinks
#iterate and delete 
for x in getIssuelinks:
    print(x.id)
    self.jira.delete_issue_link(x.id)

Could you clarify : 

idl=self.jira.issue(jiraid) # passing JIRA name
getIssuelinks=idl.fields.issuelinks #issuelinks

Since id1 is a  dictionary this does not work,
I should be doing something wrong.

My Code:

from atlassian import Jira
import json
jira = Jira(
    url='https://aa.bb.com/',
    token='someToken')

issueData = jira.issue("BBBB-1000")
json_formated= json.dumps(issueData, indent=1)
getIssuelinks=issueData.fields.issuelinks #issuelinks
print(json_formated)

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Data\repositories\jira_python\jira\jira_test.py", line 9, in <module>
getIssuelinks=issueData.fields.issuelinks #issuelinks
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's a bit late, but as the above helped me, here is my code to remove all links within an Epic. 

epicKey = input("Enter the Epic key") 
jqlStr = f'issueFunction in issuesInEpics("key = {epicKey}") OR (type = Epic AND key = {epicKey})' 
fields = ['key', 'issuelinks'] 
issues = jira.search_issues(jql_str=jqlStr, fields=fields, maxResults=1000) 

for issue in issues: 
 links = getattr(issue.fields, 'issuelinks', []) 
 for link in links: 
  try: 
   jira.delete_issue_link(str(link.id)) 
   print(f"inwardIssue link {link.id} deleted") 
  except Exception as e: 
   print(f'Failure removing links using delete_issue_link: {e}')
