Reindex linked issues | Decadis App Help Center

Use case

Often you do not only use Jira's basic set of features but extend your issues with custom fields like our calculated fields.

They work perfectly to aggregate data but once in a while you might want to do a reindex to get all up-to-date values from all issues.

In this use case we will use the scheduled trigger to do a reindex the current and all linked issues as soon as the current issue is updated.

⚒️ Configuration

Issue updated event

Create a new rule and name it appropriately.

Providing a description will help you to identify what the rule does but this step is optional.

Add a Trigger → Issue event → Issue Updated

No further configuration needed. The automation rule is triggered every time an issue is being transitioned.

Reindex issue action

Add Action → Reindex issue

No further configuration needed.

JQL Selector

Add Selector → Issue Selector

Target issue(s)

Choose Linked Issues

Reindex issue action

Next to the Issue Selector click on Add → Action → Reindex issue

No further configuration needed.
