Using the R4J plugin, how to remove the suspect flag on links ?

[Laurent PIANFETTI]

R4J documentation tells that it is possible to clean suspect links but don't explain how to do. Please help.

Thank in advance.

Hi @Laurent PIANFETTI

I'm Angelica from Easesolutions, vendor of R4J plugin. First, thank you for your feedback on the documentation. We'll try to see how we can improve it.

Now, there are a few ways you could clear suspects:

1. Select "Requirements" in Jira navigation and go to "Suspect Report".
   • Here you will find all existing suspects marked depending on your search criteria.
   • Select "Clear" for every suspect link you wish to remove.
2. Go to the issue in the tree view.
   Make sure you're using the "Detail view", then scroll to the "Issue Links" section.
   • Links marked as suspect are indicated with a "(suspect)" text.
   • Select "Clear" to remove a suspect link.
3. If you want to remove it by bulk, the only way to do this is by creating a script which uses the REST API to remove suspect links. Find "suspects" endpoints here: REST API 2.0 Reference - R4J Data Center

If you require more assistance, our friendly support team will be happy to help.

Thank you and best regards,
Angelica

Thank @Angelica Salazar for your answer.
My need is to clean all suspect links. Going to see how to implement it thru the REST API. But I suggest to add this feature in the plugin from user point of view.
