Problem to solve
In project workflows where issues are often linked to other tasks or bugs, status updates on one issue may not automatically reach related tickets, resulting in communication delays and overlooked dependencies. For instance, when a bug is resolved, any associated tasks or customer support tickets should ideally receive an update so relevant teams can take appropriate action.
Solution
Combine JQL Search Extensions with JMWE’s event-based actions to ensure timely updates and notifications on linked issues.
JSE keyword | linkedIssueType
|
JMWE event | Issue Resolved |
JMWE action | Comment Issues |
Method | In JQL Extended Search, perform a search for issues linked to bugs, for example: | Code Block |
|---|
linkedIssueType = Bug |
You can refine this by adding other criteria if needed.  Image ModifiedSave the query as a filter. For this example, the filter is called Issues linked to bugs. In JMWE, create or edit an event-based action to use the Issue Updated Resolved event. Set the scope to Only apply to issues that match a JQL filter. Click the JQL input box, then search using the filter name, for example, filter="Issues linked to bugs". Click Save. The filter is added to your event-based action configuration. Add the Comment issues post function. Save the action.  Image Removed Image AddedNow, when an issue is resolved, issues meeting the JQL filter criteria are updated with the comment configured for step 7. You can apply the same use case to other events, for example, Issue Deleted.
