Link scheduled issue to a parent issue

[Shaun Skeldum]

I'd like the ability to link the issues created by the scheduler to the same parent issue.

For example, we have a strategic plan defined in a JIRA project. Some of those issues (tasks) are defined as on-going or recurring. Each recurrence of the task (created by The Scheduler) is "caused" by the parent issue in the strategic plan project. Thus, each recurrence created by The Scheduler should be linked to the issue STRATEGICPLAN-123 using the caused-by relationship.

Dear Shaun,

I suppose such possibility exists:

Since 4.0.6 version of The Scheduler you can choose following linking options in the Scheduled Issue basic info:

To choose that option, you have to choose following checkbox on the screen:

After choosing that option, new issue created by this Scheduled Issue will be created with the previously created one (first issue linked with the second, second with the third etc...)

This option will be available after choosing "Link new issue with previously created issue" option, like on the following screen:

Enabling this option causes that newly created issues will be linked with all issues previously created by this Scheduled Issue.

Please let me know if it helped.

Many thanks, Dominik

Hi Shaun, If you are using The Scheduler for JIRA Server you can easily do this on 2nd step of the wizard, where you should be able set the relations the same as you would create for manually created issues:

What Dominik showed you is an option for default linking all Scheduled issues in a kind of chain.

Cheers,

Łukasz
