Can really tell from the screen shot which link was created by your code. But I guess you need to show us the details of your code to tell whether your code matches what you intend to do. You can always check out Ralph's fantastic blog for more references.

Hi,
To understand the code, the following lines express the variables used.

• linkTypeMaps is a map that contains the link identifier and the IEndPointDescriptor as shown in the line below.

linkTypeMaps.put("AFFECTED_BY_DEFECT", ILinkTypeRegistry.INSTANCE.getLinkType(WorkItemLinkTypes.AFFECTED_BY_DEFECT).getTargetEndPointDescriptor());

• backlinkgs is another map that contains the link identifier mapped to the link dentifier of the backlink:

backLinkTypeMaps.put("AFFECTED_BY_DEFECT", "AFFECTS_PLAN_ITEM");

With this in mind, look at the following code:

private void createLink(IWorkItem sourceWorkItem, IWorkItem targetWorkItem, String link) throws TeamRepositoryException {

        Set additionalParams = new HashSet();
        additionalParams.add(IAdditionalSaveParameters.UPDATE_BACKLINKS);
        IWorkItem sourceWC= (IWorkItem)sourceWorkItem.getWorkingCopy();

        IWorkItemReferences sourceReferences= workIteamServer.resolveWorkItemReferences(sourceWorkItem, null);

        IEndPointDescriptor descriptor=(linkTypeMaps.get(getBackLink(link))!=null)? linkTypeMaps.get(getBackLink(link)): linkTypeMaps.get(link) ;

        sourceReferences.add(descriptor, IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem(targetWorkItem));
        workIteamServer.saveWorkItem3(sourceWC, sourceReferences, null, additionalParams);
    }
