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.

In this documentation and the post function configuration you will notice the symbol ( * ) next to some parameters, it means that this field is mandatory and shall not be left empty. Fields without the symbol are optional.

Below you will find a detailed description of each parameter of the basic configuration of the function.

  • is blocked by (Blocks) -inward

  • is duplicated by (Duplicate) -inward
  • duplicates (Duplicate) -outward
  • relates to (Relates) -inward
  • relates to (Relates) -outward
