Finding linked issues of linked issues

[Ann-Katrin Fritz]

Hi folks,

My situation:

I use different issue types (no sub-tasks) that are linked to each other: I have a system containing several components.

My problem:

I know one of the components and I need to find the other components belonging to the same system --> I need to find the system first, then I need to find a particular other component of this system.

My (dysfunctional) solution so far:

Finding the system my component belongs to:
issueFunction in hasLinkType("System") AND issue in linkedIssues("ABC-11") [with ABC-11 being the known component]
--> Result: ABC-1.

Then finding all components of the system:
issueFunction in hasLinkType("System") AND issue in linkedIssues("ABC-1")
--> Result: ABC-11, ABD-12, ABC-13.

My attempt to nest both of them: 
issueFunction in hasLinkType("System") AND issue in linkedIssues(issueFunction in hasLinkType("System") AND issue in linkedIssues("ABC-11"))
--> No result, query not working.

Second attempt to nest:
issue in linkedissues('(issue in linkedissues(ABC-11))')
--> No result, query not working.

I cannot solve the error in my nested query above. Can anyone support, please?

Many thanks!

Solution found:

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf('issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("key=ABC-11", "is component of")', 'contains')

Can you help me with mine? I am trying to find the linked issues of a linked issue and check the status and then transition them.

I have a Manual trigger that closes an issue and then a branch to check the FOR Linked issue of type "blocks" and close any child related tickets on that linked issue. That linked issue also has linked issues of "relates to" type but I can't get to it to check. I can reach the Child tickets of the linked ticket but not the linked issues of that linked ticket. I have tried using the related issue condition for sub-tasks and linked issues.
