The Create issue link post function is aimed to make it possible for a workflow transition to create issue links from the current issue to other issues, or between any pair of issues in a Jira instance. Issue selection can be done by JQL query or comma-separated issue keys in a field.

This post function automatically creates one or multiple issue links.

You can create links between virtually any issue.
