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.

Issue link type

Select the issue link type to be created. The following options are available:

  • is blocked by (Blocks) -inward
  • blocks (Blocks) -outward
  • is cloned by (Cloners) -inward
  • clones (Cloners) -outward
  • is duplicated by (Duplicate) -inward
  • duplicates (Duplicate) -outward
  • relates to (Relates) -inward
  • relates to (Relates) -outward
Source issue

Select the source issues to create the issue links from. The following options are available:

  • Current issue
  • Issue key in field

    When chosen, select the field containing the issue keys. The Field* should contain either a single issue key or a list of issue keys, separated by comma or blank.

  • Set issue manually (parser expression)
Destination issue

Select the destination issues to create the issue links from. The following two options are available:

  • Issue key in field
  • Set issue manually (parser expression)
Field

Select the field to get the issue from.

Additional options

You have the following two options (multi-choice is not available):

  • Many-to-many relationship - Each source issue will be linked to all destination issues
  • One-to-one relationship - Each source issue will be linked to one destination issue according to order of appearance
Conditional execution

You can optionally specify a logical expression to define the circumstances (or conditions) under which the post function should be executed.

The result of the logical expression must return a boolean value of either:

  • true → the post function will be executed
  • false → the post function will not be executed

Using the conditional operator, even complex or multi-layered conditions can be constructed.

Make sure to learn more about defining logical expressions and browse through the various examples here: Logical mode
