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.

All available link types will be displayed.

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)

    You have to enter a valid  JQL expression .

Destination issue

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

  • Issue key in field
    When selected, you have the possibility to select the field you want to get the issue key from.

  • Set issue manually (parser expression)

    You have to enter a valid  JQL expression .

Additional options

You can select, how the issue links should be created in case there are multiple issues to be linked:

  • 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.
