Can I modify the link of an issue with Automation for Jira?

[laralg]

Hello,

In Jira Cloud, I have a issuetype that everyone needs to link an issue to it, but a lot of people put the wrong link, because there is no way to force a type of link in the issue.

So everytime someone creates an issue with a link, i want to automatically modify this link to the correct one. Right now the only rule that exists is for link an issue, but the issue is already linked, so I want to modify the existing link. Because the rule that exist right now would create a new link with the correct link.

Hey there Lara,

Unfortunately there's no way to modify / remove a link at the moment through Automation for Jira (see https://codebarrel.atlassian.net/browse/AUT-213)

I've added your vote to this ticket! 

Cheers,

Hello, Lara

If your issue should have only one link to another issue, then you can work on this algorithm:
1) When an issue with type issue "A" is created
2) Delete all links for this issue
3) Create a link of the desired type to the desired issue

This approach is a little crutch, but overall should work :)

Hi Yevhen,

Sorry but it can have multiple links.

Ej. I have
RELEASE-1 linked with "blocks" to PROBLEM-5

And them someone needs to link RELEASE-1 to FEATURE-6 but they get confused and use the "duplicated" link. I need all the links to be "blocks"
So everytime a issue is linked, change the link to "Blocks"

Regards
