Jira Plans: Select work based on JPD roadmap

[Michael Ball-Marian]

I have searched rather extensively, but found no good answer to this plan. Most specifically, I have read: 

https://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/product-discovery/resources/handbook/roadmapping#how-to-create-roadmap 

That document includes some videos on how to combine JPD Roadmaps and Jira Plans. However, the examples they use are simplistic, and show a system with only a few ideas. 

My question is: How do you create a plan / filter that only includes work for which the associated ideas are "NOW" on the roadmap, or in-progress, etc?

This does not seem possible using JQL. 

What I might want is something like:

All issues that "implement" an idea where the idea status is in (In Progress, Planned)

Alternatively, what other means are available to link a JPD roadmap to an execution plan?  The only option I see is to manually select JPD ideas one-by-one. That seems like a painfully manual and error-prone process. 

Thanks!

Hi,

You’re correct — this isn’t currently supported directly with JQL. Jira Plans can’t filter issues based on the status of linked Jira Product Discovery (JPD) ideas.

Common workarounds include:

* Sync the idea status to linked delivery issues using automation (e.g., copy “Now / In Progress / Planned” into a custom field or label)
* Use that field in JQL to drive your Plan filter
* Maintain links consistently between ideas and execution issues
* Manually select ideas in the Plan if automation isn’t feasible

At the moment, syncing the roadmap status into a queryable field on the delivery issues is the most practical approach.

Hope this helps 👍
