Count of Linked issues in a custom field with respect to Link Type

[Holan Shetlar]

Looking for a way to count of Linked issues in a custom field with respect to Link Type

Without using plugins you can't do this in JIRA. You need scripted fields from the script runner plugin.

Some samples - https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/5.0.4/jira/scripted-fields.html 

At runtime when the screen loads you can calculate the linkedissues based on link type and show their count in the custom field.

I have not been able to find a way to do this using the documentation.  I did find this code and would like help altering it to specify a Link Type instead of an Issue Type:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor

 

int x = 0

def currentUser = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser()

def linkedIssues = ComponentAccessor.getIssueLinkManager().getLinkCollection(issue, currentUser).getAllIssues()

if (linkedIssues.size() > 0){

  for (int i = 0; i < linkedIssues.size(); i++){

    if (linkedIssues[i].getIssueType().getName() == "Bug"){

      x = x + 1

    }

  }

} 

if (x > 0){

  return x

}else return null
