Automation for Jira: several links on subtask creation

[Alessandro Tondo]

When I create a subtask I'm not able to add two distinct issue links by using the Additional fields section, but it works with only one link.

I've tried several times without success, and I believe I'm doing something wrong. Is something like this right?

{
  "update": {
    "issuelinks": [
      {
        "add": [
          {
            "type": {
              "name": "Blocks"
            },
            "inwardIssue": {
              "key": "ASM-656"
            }
          },{
            "type": {
              "name": "Blocks"
            },
            "inwardIssue": {
              "key": "ASM-657"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

 Thanks for your help!

Hi Alessandro,

I've tentatively raised this as a bug at AUT-773 on our public issue tracker (you might have to change your browser to incognito mode to view this).

In the meantime, you can get around this by adding multiple 'Edit Issue' (or whatever you were using) components and using their advanced sections. You could also achieve the same result by adding multiple 'Link Issue' components.

Let me know if you need anything else :)

Quick update: I've checked with the team and this is definitely an issue on Atlassian's end. You can follow the relevant tickets on their tracker at JRASERVER-66329 and JRACLOUD-65583.

Thank you very much Huw!

I've spent quite an hour figuring out what I was doing wrong, and it was simply a Jira bug.

I'm watching that issue and till resolution I'll do what you've suggest.
