Finding all issues blocked by an issue in same project with issulinkType

[K Langford]

The project has identified issues: IssueA, IssueB, IssueC, IssueD, E..etc. Assume IssueZ is blocking several issues. I need to filter and find all issues currently blocked by IssueZ. I think the answer lies in issuelinkType 'is blocked by' is part of the answer, but I can not construct the JQL properly.

Hello @K Langford 

For Jira CLOUD's JQL you can use either:

issueIsBlockedBy = <IssueZ_key>

or:

issueLink["is blocked by"] = <IssueZ_key>

but these might not work for Jira Server.

I don't have access to a Jira Server to test with, so you'll need to test them yourself.

Hi @K Langford 

This can't be done natively.

Do you have Jira Server or Data Center? If you have Data Center you can use dependency reports

If you have server you would need to have scriptrunner and use scriptrunner JQL. If you don't have one of those though then you would need to look into switching to Cloud or upgrading to data center as Server is set to go away in 2024

Best,
