Issue Linking

The Scheduler gives the ability to create Scheduled Issues with specified links to existing Jira issues of all types. Issue links can be added during the creation or editing of a Scheduled Issue.

To do so, on a second step of the Scheduled Issue wizard please scroll down and follow the action as presented in the example below:

On "Issue Details" (1↓) step of Scheduled Issue wizard, please select at first the cause for linking particular issues (2↙) (i.e. "is caused by") and then in the search box below, start typing the issue key(s) that you aim to link (3↙). You can find any existing issue in an accessed project (also a sub-task type of it).

Open

After doing so, proceed to the next step by pressing "Next" and on the final stage press "Create" (or "Update" in case of an edition).

Be advised that you should remove in this step, any linked issue that was earlier deleted in Jira, otherwise when you try to execute it manually, or if it'll be done by a trigger, then you can expect "Incomplete" error to appear on a SI table:

Open

After accessing "Execution History" of a scheduled issue with such status, you will be able to spot that "incomplete" is only relevant to deleted issues - it doesn't affect creation of new issues, linked to still existing ones in Jira. In other words - it's just a warning that it's impossible to create linking with an issue that is not present in Jira any longer (after execution of such, linked issue won't be present in newly created issue).
