Search for issues related to story including issues related to substories

[Ronald Gray]

I have a short list of stories (A, B, C).  Most (but not all) stories have sub-tasks (A1, A2, A3, C1, C2, C3).  I have Bugs which are related to the stories or sub-tasks.  I would like to run a query to locate all of the Bugs under the stories A, B, and C, including Bugs linked to substories.  I have tried to use "issue in linkedIssues(B)" to locate the Bugs directly linked to story B, and that query successfully locates Bugs related to B, but when I try "issue in linkedIssues(A)" it fails to locate any of the Bugs in the substories A1, A2, A3 - it just tells me no issues found.  Is there a way to query for all Bugs linked anywhere below A, B, and C?

By using JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports plugin you can easily get all bugs related to stories or sub tasks. In your case you can use the following query.

issue in linkedBy(A,B,C)

Above query will return all bugs linked with stories A,B,C and if there is any sub tasks linked with Story A,B,C.

Add the column "Links" to the list and you that's it. you will see all stories with sub tasks and linked bugs.

Sounds wonderfully simple and exactly what I need, but I don't have JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports and cannot install it on the company's server.  Is there a way to do this with the standard Jira?
