How to add or remove external link from jira issue from a plugin

[Subhajit Bhuiya]

I am working on a JIRA plugin which gets external links. I want to add/ remove those links from JIRA ISSUE. How can I do that programatically?

Hi,

Please explain more about what you are trying to achieve...

I want to help, but you are not clear enough

@Nir Haimov I am trying to integrate JIRA with test result of other tool. As a part of that I am writing a Jira plugin. Now as a part of that, the tool will call a servlet API of JIRA plugin and will pass the test result uri. I want to associate the test result uri wth the JIRA issue. There can be 1 or more such links.

@Nir Haimov I am looking for internal API for this rest api

POST http://localhost:8090/jira/rest/api/latest/issue/TST-1/remotelink

from https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/jira-rest-api-for-remote-issue-links/

Because if I want to call it I will need a http client. But I am within JIRA process space, so looking for an direct JIRA API

OK,

I understand now what you are trying to achieve.

But it seems like you got the solution (the link you sent me).

Where are you stuck in the process?

I was looking for the JAVA API instead of REST API. At last got it from https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/creating-remote-issue-links/

@Nir Haimov Now instead of showing the links under External Link section, I want to show it under a custom field or a custom section (if possible, have a custom section to show those link) along with a add button and a delete button

Follow this tutorial:

https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/adding-content-to-the-jira-view-issue-page/

It will guide you to create a section in the issue view screen.

Once you will create the section just set it content to be your links and add any additional functionality you want
