Find issues blocking x or more issues

I wonder if there is any way to find all the issues which blocks X or more other issues from being resolved? How could the linked issue property be used together with JQL to resolve this?

Hi @Marcus Fredriksson -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

There is no way to do that query with out-of-the-box JQL.  You would need one of the marketplace add-ons for JQL, some are paid and there might be a free one to do it.

If that isn't an option, you could investigate using automation for Jira and custom fields to keep track of the number of issues blocked by an issue.  Then just query that custom field.

Best regards,
