Generate issue links in Jira with scriptrunner

[Mouna Hammoudi]

I am trying to generate some issue links in jira, here is my code. This code is executed as a Jira automation rule after clicking on a button.  The problem is that I receive the following error message. They say that the issuelinktype is wrong, anyone knows how to figure out which issue link type I need?

    setCustomFieldValue('Execution Summary', text)

    }

}else if(issue.getFixVersions().size()==0){

            issue.update {

        int componentSize=issue.getComponents().size()

        for(ProjectComponent component : issue.getComponents()) {

                componentList.add(component.getName())

        }

        issue.update {

            String text= "The super feature "+issue+" will be split into "+componentSize+

            " features, one for each component:\n"

            for(String component: componentList){

                     subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(issue, subTask, authenticationContext.getLoggedInUser())

Have you confirmed that you do in fact have a link type in your system that has the ID 10001?

[Mouna Hammoudi]

how can I know??

[Trudy Claspill]

A Jira Administrator can navigate to Jira Settings > Issues > Issue Linking to find the ID for each link type.

Clicking on the Edit option for a link type will show the link type ID in the URL:

https://<baseURL>/secure/admin/EditLinkType!default.jspa?id=10000

[Mouna Hammoudi]

The right ID is 19 and I have used it and it is till not working.

That is not the issue linking screen. Notice that the URL you see at the bottom of the screen does not match what I specified.

The URL for the Issue Linking screen that shows all the link types is

https://<your base URL>/secure/admin/ViewLinkTypes!default.jspa

It will look similar to the below screen. You need to click the Edit option next to the link type you are trying to create in your code.
