Creating issue links with Scriptrunner Console

[Will C]

Hi there,

I have been having some issues creating issuelinks from newly cloned issues, I will insert my script for reference

The problem comes when I try issueLinkManager.createIssueLink() if I use the clonedissue.id first then the link wont write and I get a nullpointerexception, but if I put the clonedissue.id second then it will write and the script works fine but my link is obviously the wrong way round.

any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?

def issueResults = searchProvider.search(issueQuery, user, PagerFilter.getUnlimitedFilter())

            subTaskManager.createSubTaskIssueLink(subTaskParent, subTaskCloned, user)
        }
        }
}

This is strange, seems to be only doing this if I try to link it to a particular issue, I have tried with several other issues and it works fine. this is a dev instance though so it could be something to do with the environment.

Hi @Will C ,

Your script has been working fine with me. I tried linking both ways with blocks linking. I do not think I have changed muched, I added some logs to check the execution, maybe you could provide some logs ?

Hi Antoine, thanks for the reply, I've tried with some logs, it creates the first issue and then fails, Im sure its failing at the point of creating the issuelink as if you take the createissuelink out then it runs fine.

I will experiment with different link types and different issues to see if its that? although I would have thought this should run with any?
