How do I sync links from Jira "relates to" to ADO "Related"

I have many links that I want to maintain between Jira issues and their synced ADO counterparts.


One is the "implements"/"implemented by" link in Jira which translates to "Parent"/"Child" in ADO for us.  This I can do on the ADO side via the 'syncHelper.getLocalIssueKeyFromRemoteId' call and the 'workItem.parentId =' assignment


Another is "relates to"/"related by" link in Jira which translates to "Related"/"Related" in ADO for us.  The problem is I dont know how to set this in ADO.

  • Does ADO support sending something like replica.issuelinks = workItem.Links?
  • Can I set a link in ADO via something like this workItem.Links += createLink(FromWorkItem, ToWorkItem, LinkType)? 

    • For instance with something like following which I don't think anything like it exists right now 

      for(int i = 0; i < numberOfRelatesLinks; i++)
      {
          fromWorkItem = RelatesLinks[i][0]
          toWorkItem = currentIssue
          linkType = RelatesLinks[i][1]
          workItemLinkArray += nodeHelper.getLink(fromWorkItem, toWorkItem, linkType)
      }
      workItem.Links = workItemLinkArray

    As an update
    I am able to use some Jira packages to create links.  These are

    import com.atlassian.jira.issue.link.IssueLinkManager;
    import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
    import com.atlassian.jira.security.JiraAuthenticationContext


    This allows me to use

    def otherIssue = "ABC-1"
    def issue1 = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(issue.key)
    def issue2 = ComponentAccessor.issueManager.getIssueByCurrentKey(otherIssue)
    def user = authContext.getLoggedInUser();
    issueLinkManager.createIssueLink( issue1.getId(), issue2.getId(), Long.parseLong(LinkType), Long.valueOf(1), user)


    However the following fails when I want to set the otherIssue

    def parentId = replica.parentId 
    def localParent = syncHelper.getLocalIssueKeyFromRemoteId(replica.parentId.toLong())

    This comes from the doco

    On the sync helper page its associated with both Jira and ADO but it wont work on the Jira incoming sync (but does work on the ADO incoming sync)

    Hello, Tomás O'Flaherty , well done looking at the methods there.
    Might I ask you to share the error you are getting when using this method on ADO?
    In case, if it doesn't generate any error, is the linked issue synced with the same connection?
    Regards, Serhiy.
