Change "unresolved blockers" column in Structure

[Christopher Kemp]

In structure, you can add the column "Unresolved Blockers", which lists issues that block the current issue and are unresolved. It is defined by this formula: 

issueLinks
.FILTER($.type = "blocks" AND $.destination = this AND !$.source.resolution)
.source

Instead of showing all the issues that are linked with the link type "blocks", I would like to display the issues that are linked with the link type "is predeccessor of".

Simply changing the formula to

issueLinks
.FILTER($.type = "is predeccessor of" AND $.destination = this AND !$.source.resolution)
.source

unfortunately does not work. Does anyone have a solution for this?

Hello @Christopher Kemp 

In the formula, $.type =" " should reference the Link type. The 'is predeccessor of' is the link direction, so the formula isn't returning anything. You need to use the link's name, and its direction is already defined by $.destination. The link name can be found at Issues | Issue linking.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance or have any other questions about Structure, please reach out to us directly at our support portal and we'll get back to you shortly.

Hello @Stepan Kholodov _Tempo_ 

Thank you very much for your reply. You were right and it is working now... almost!

I now have the problem that the column is showing what successors the current issue has. I want it to display the predeccessors though. How can I reverse that?

Also, I would prefer if the column would not display the issue key, but instead the issue title. Any idea how that might work?

This is my formula now:

issueLinks
.FILTER($.type = "successor predeccessor link" AND $.destination = this AND !$.source.resolution)
.source
