Could not update issuelinks in Additional Fields

[eric_legroux_consulteer_com]

I try to update issuelinks OutwardIssue but it doesnt work.

On the issue, I have a link: Outwardissue (blocks) with one entry.

issue link linked issue 

X-12: blocks  X-34

To the issue,X-12,  I need to add

issue link linked issue 

X-12 is blocked by X-56

and

X-12 blocks X-78

X-12 blocks X-90

--------------------------------

The result shoulde be

issue link  linked issue 

X-12 is blocked by X-56

X-12 blocks  X-34

X-12 blocks X-78

X-12 blocks X-90

---------------------------------

adding inwardissues X-56 (is blocked by) works fine

adding 2 outwardissues (blocks)  X-78 and X_90 doesnt work! what's wrong?

----------------------------------------

I use this script:

{"update": {
"issuelinks": [
{
"add": {
"type": {
"name": "Blocks"
},
"inwardIssue": {
"key": "X-56"
}
}
}
]
}
}
{"update": {
"issuelinks": [
{
"add": {
"type": {
"name": "Blocks"
},
"OutwardIssue": {
"key": "X-78",
"key": "X-90"
}
}
}
]
}
}

--------------------------------------------

what goes wrong?

Hi @eric_legroux_consulteer_com ,

The Jira issue links work both ways; if you add a link on issue A saying it's "blocking" issue B, it will automatically mark issue B as being "blocked" by issue A.

I think that's why your rule doesn't work, maybe try your script with only the inward link part ?

Let me know if it helps,

Many Thanks!

it works using the inward link only, but this could not be the ouward link should work also...
