Linked Issues vs {issueLinks}. Remote Links and Formula Columns

[James Roy]

Hi there,

I would like to somehow get an array of remote links from a Jira issue and filter for a certain type of remote link and use the result to populate a column in Structure.

-----------------------------------------

"6076" is what I'm after, which is a remote link found by

JQL {issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfRemote("application name", "ACME System")}

Using Structure I can add the bundled column "Linked Issues" that returns all outgoing issue links:

However, when I use a "formula" column and refer to Issue Links some outgoing links, remote links, are omitted:

This question speaks to the same issue but the response relates directly to the formula and the inability of Issue Links to return ALL link types.

I wonder though, is there way to refer to the "Linked Issues" column itself or some other way to to return the same array provided by the Linked Issues column.

Thank you.

In a newer Structure version (9.8 and up):
https://help.tempo.io/structure-dc/latest/structure-9-8-release-notes

There is introduced a new Formula Attribute "remoteLinks":
https://help.tempo.io/structure-dc/latest/item-property-reference#ItemPropertyReference-RemoteLink

which can be referenced as an Array so far as I understood:

Hello @James Roy 

If you want to only see links to resources outside of the current Jira instance, then it's not possible for the same reason as mentioned in the other post - the Formula column doesn't recognize remote links at the moment. The Linked Issues column is indeed capable of displaying these links, but this column can't be referenced in the Formula.

I hope this clarifies the matter. If you have more questions about Structure - please reach out to us directly at our support portal.
