`UiPath.Jira.Activities.CreateIssueLink`

The **Create Issue Link** activity uses the [Jira API](https://bitbucket.org/farmas/atlassian.net-sdk/src/e2082af34475bd126f466ecd582501e090febc5e/docs/how-to-use-the-sdk.md) to create a new issue link for specific issues (**Inward Issue Key**, **Issue Link Type**, **Outward Issue Key**).

There is no output from this activity.

## How it works

The following steps are an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the [Setup](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-setup) steps.
2. Add the [Jira Scope](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/legacy-integrations/jira-scope) activity to your project.
3. Add the **Create Component** activity inside the **Jira Scope** activity.
4. Create and enter a `String` and a `Inward Issue Key` variable for the Input properties.
5. Create and enter a `String` and a `Inward Link Type` variable for the Input properties.
6. Create and enter a `String` and a `Outward Issue Key` variable for the Input properties.

## Properties

### Common

* **Continue On Error** - This field only supports boolean values (True, False). The default value in this field is False. As a result, if this field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
* **DisplayName** - The display name of the activity. This field supports only `Strings` or `String` variables.

### Input

* **Inward Issue Key** - The Issue Key of the inward issue. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.
* **Issue Link Type** - The name of the issue link type. This field supports only strings or `String` variables. Use “Get Link Types” to obtain the name. (e.g. "Duplicate").
* **Outward Issue Key** - The Issue Key of the outward issue. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.

### Misc

* **Private** - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

### Options

* **Comment** - A comment to add to the issue link. This field supports only strings or `String` variables.
