IssueLinkCreatedEvent is fired before the Edit Issue process is completed

Issue Summary

On plugin development, IssueLinkCreatedEvent is fired before the Edit Issue process is completed.

The listener is to copy a value from a custom field (Field A) of the linked issue to the linking issue.

Environment

-

Steps to Reproduce

1. Set up a listener:

       @EventListener
       public void issueLinkCreatedEvent(IssueLinkCreatedEvent issueEvent) {
           Issue sourceIssue = issueEvent.getIssueLink().getSourceObject();
           Issue destinationIssue = issueEvent.getIssueLink().getDestinationObject();
           
           someService.copyField(sourceIssue, destinationIssue);
       }
   

2. Create a new issue.
3. Edit the issue and link an Epic.
4. Let's say the Field A of:
   • the linked Epic has a value of Value A and
   • this newly-created issue has a value of Value B
5. Save the Edit Issue.
6. The listener captured the event and copy Value A from the Epic to the newly-created issue.
   Note that the Edit Issue process hasn't completed yet.
7. Once the Edit Issue process completed, the Value B in the Edit Screen overwrite the Value A copied earlier by the listener.

Expected Results

The IssueLinkCreatedEvent is expected to fire after the Edit Issue process is completed.

Actual Results

The IssueLinkCreatedEvent is to fire before the Edit Issue process is completed.
