Finding how to populate a field in Powershell with JiraPS

So, i'm using JiraPS to create some tickets and so far i've been able to work out through trial and error how to populate certain standard and custom fields.

I'm now wanting to create a ticket and link to other tickets. I'm looking to use a standard field called "Linked Issues"

Linked Issues Screen Shot

I've exported all the Jira fields and think this is one of these fields:

ID : issuelinks Searchable : True Schema : @{type=array; items=issuelinks; system=issuelinks} Name : Linked Issues Custom : False Navigable : True Orderable : True ClauseNames :

and possibly "subtasks" for the issues field:

ID : subtasks Searchable : False Schema : @{type=array; items=issuelinks; system=subtasks} Name : Sub-Tasks Custom : False Navigable : True Orderable : False ClauseNames : subtasks

I only think this as "items" match issuelinks.

I note that these are array records and have tried to no avail to give them a value when creating a ticket.

I get these errors:

Invoke-JiraMethod: subtasks -------- Field 'subtasks' cannot be set. It is not on the appropriate screen, or unknown.

nvoke-JiraMethod: issuelinks ---------- Field does not support update 'issuelinks'

If anyone has any ideas if I'm on the right track or way off!

Thanks

I've managed to work it out. I was thinking about it the wrong way, what I've done now is link the ticket to the parent, rather than trying to attach the child. Hope that makes sense...

I've used Add-JiraIssueLink on the child ticket(s) to link to the parent.
