UI Text Box

By default, only linked issues will be updated.

titleFilter

Use any of the following filters to refine which issues will be updated.

Filter by project

Filter your project by choosing from one of the following options:

OptionDescription
Any projectThis is the default. If selected, the projects the linked issues belong to do not matter.
Current projectIf selected, only linked issues which belong to the same project as the current issue will be updated.
Any but current projectIf selected, only linked issues which do not belong to the same project as the current issue will be updated.


Filter by link type

Only issues linked to the current issue by the selected link types will be updated. This field is required.

Filter by issue type

Optionally limit the issues to be updated by their issue type.

Filter by status

Optionally limit the issues to be updated by their status.

Filter by field value

Optionally limit the issues to be updated by their field values. To achieve this you must enter an expression in Logical mode. The expression must return  true or false. 

UI Text Box

Examples: 

ExpressionDescription
Code Block
languagebash
linenumberstrue
%{seed.issue.assignee} != null

This expression ensures that unassigned issues will not be updated. 

UI Text Box
typeinfo

Values in linked issues or sub-tasks have to be referenced by their seed field codes.

Code Block
languagebash
linenumberstrue
%{issue.dueDate} <= %{seed.issue.dueDate}

This expression ensures that the due date of the linked issues is equal or later than current issue's due date.

UI Text Box
typeinfo

Values in linked issues or sub-tasks have to be referenced by their seed field codes.

The single filters are AND concatenated. In order for the operation to be successful and unlink the issues all filter criteria must be met.

titleAdditional options

The following options are available:

OptionDescription
Update sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria

Check this option if you also want to update sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria. This option only makes sense when the current issue itself is not a sub-task.

Update sibling sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria

Check this option if you also want to update sibling sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria. This option only makes sense when the current issue itself is a sub-task.

Update recursively linked issues or sub-tasks matching the specified filter criteria

By default JWT will only update directly linked issues or sub-tasks directly under the current issue. If you check this option, recursively linked issues or sub-tasks (e.g. which are linked to a directly linked issue) will also be updated independent of the linking depth. 

UI Text Box
typeinfo

Each identified issue will only be updated once.

If you check this option, Jira will send email notifications according to the associated notification scheme.
