Use case

When a comment is added to an issue, mentioning one or multiple issue keys, those issues are linked to the current issue.


 Issue Event

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.


Add a trigger → Issue Event → Issue Commented

No further configuration needed. The automation rule is triggered every time an issue is being transitioned.

Boolean Condition

Add a Condition → Boolean Condition 

Expression*

Use the following parser expression:

findPattern(%{trigger.issue.lastComment},"([A-Z][A-Z0-9]+)-\\d+") !~ null

Boolean expressions are logical constructions that return true or false .

Add and configure the Create Issue Link action.

Issue link type*: Choose relates to (Relates)

Issue selection*: Choose Issue List Expression

Parser expression*:

issueKeysToIssueList(toString(findPattern(%{trigger.issue.lastComment},"([A-Z][A-Z0-9]+)-\\d+")))

Activate the rule by clicking on the Activate rule button  →

Screencast

This is how the configuration above should look on your screen
