Return JSON object with linkID on issueLink creation

    • None
    • Component/s: Issue - Actions, REST API
    • Environment:
      JIRA 5.0.5 (but checking the latest API documentation)

      My apologies if this is fixed in 5.1 (I'll upgrade soon)....

      In JIRA 5.0.5 and according the documentation, JIRA will not return a full JSON response when creating a issueLink between 2 issues:
      http://docs.atlassian.com/jira/REST/latest/#id120764
      (POST /rest/api/2/issueLink).

      Ideally, it would be nice to receive at least the link ID to store locally in case we need to re-use it (delete it) shortly after. That would save time instead of re-querying the JIRA issue(s) since I have all other link information except the ID after the post.

      Cheers,
      Johan.
