This code is a Groovy script used in the context of Atlassian JIRA, a popular project management and issue tracking software. The script defines a function checkIssue that takes one argument, current_issue, which is an instance of the Issue class.

The purpose of the function is to recursively calculate the total number of subtasks and linked issues of a given issue. It does so by iterating through the subtasks and linked issues of the current issue, and calling the checkIssue function on them.

Here's a breakdown of the code:

Import necessary classes from JIRA API, such as Issue, IssueLink, and ComponentAccessor.
Define the checkIssue function with one parameter, current_issue.
Initialize a variable subSum to store the total number of subtasks and linked issues.
Get the subtasks of the current issue and convert them to a list.
If there are subtasks, iterate through them and call the checkIssue function on each subtask, adding the result to subSum.
Get the outward issue links of the current issue using the IssueLinkManager from ComponentAccessor.
If there are issue links, iterate through them and check if the link type is "Parent-Child", "ParentChild", or "Epic-Story Link" (for Epic issues). If it is, call the checkIssue function on the linked issue and add the result to subSum.
The function does not return any value, but it updates the subSum variable as it processes subtasks and linked issues.

Note that the function is missing a return statement, which should return the subSum variable. To fix this, add return subSum at the end of the function.
