Issue Links
Let's say we want to link the current issue to an issue selected. Using Power Custom Fields PRO you can do this very simple.
Considering we have a PCF - Single Select configured with one SIL Data Source, one Selection script, minimum characters for autocomplete set to 5 and the maximum results number set to 50. We want to select an issue using its key or summary. You can see the custom field in the picture below:
For this example we used the following SIL data source.
string [] issues = selectIssues("created < now()");
string [] res;
for (string iss in issues) {
if (contains(iss.summary, argv["query"])) {
res = addElementIfNotExist(res, iss);
}
}
return res;
The select script used is:
KPOption[] selectedOption = customfield_12209; linkIssue(key, selectedOption[0].value, "Relates");
It creates a link of type "Relates" between the current issue and the selected issue.
Please notice that you'll have to use the name of the link issue, as you find it in Issue linking page (in our case, "Relates" and not "relates to").
