Scriptrunner link issues based on summary

[Qi Jiang]

I have few projects: A1,B1,C1,D1 and  A2,B2,C2,D2. Inside these projects, there are some issues got same summary, I am looking for a way to link them together.

For example:

inside A1 there is a issue, A1issue1 summary is "UI submit button is not working", and in A2 there is another issue, A2issue1 summary is "UI submit button is not working" too. So I want to link A1 to A2.

Do you know the exact wording of the summaries that are duplicated? For example, you could write a script in the Script Console that does this:

//JQL search for issues where summary contains specific wording
//loop through all returned issues and link them together
//reindex issues

This would only work if you knew what the wording of the duplicated summaries were.

Hi, 

This will be hard, since JQL doesn't compare 2 exact strings. You have to find a better way to fetch issues.

If you search for issues with the summary as "UI submit button is not working" it might return other issues along with the required issue.
