You can use JMWE's Related Issue(s) Validator, the options to pick will be pretty straightforward.

@David Fischer  can you help me understand how to use this Validator?

If you have any example to share that will help. Also I was not able to find this Validator in my instance so confused.

Which version of JMWE for Jira Server do you have?

[Aditya Sastry]

Installed version:6.1.2

Hi Aditya,

You need JMWE 6.2.0 or above to find the validator. Please upgrade from the Manage add-ons page. 

Regards,

Radhika

JMWE's Related Issue(s) Validator suggested by @David Fischer works like a charm.

Thanks!

Custom Solution - Make a workflow transition button  for example - "Link to Story". Add a screen in the transition to show up a query custom field or issue picker field. Write your jql to allow only stories and make the field mandatory with validators. Write a post function to link the story to issue.

If this needs to be on Create, make the custom story field mandatory, write a post function to link the story to issue.

You can use the below code in script runner validator 

'Linked Issue(s) Validator (JMWE add-on)'

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;

String paramRequiredLinkType = "relates to";
List paramRequiredIssueTypes = Arrays.asList("Bug", "New Feature");

def request = webwork.action.ActionContext.getRequest();
if (request) {
String linkType = request.getParameter('issuelinks-linktype');
String[] linkedIssues = request.getParameterValues('issuelinks-issues');
if (linkType != null && linkType.equals(paramRequiredLinkType) && linkedIssues != null) {
if (linkedIssues.size() == 0) {
def myIssueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
for (String tmpLinkedIssue: linkedIssues) {
MutableIssue toBeLinkedIssue = myIssueManager.getIssueObject(tmpLinkedIssue);
if (toBeLinkedIssue != null) {
if (!paramRequiredIssueTypes.contains(toBeLinkedIssue.getIssueType().getName())) {
return false;
}
} else {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
