How can one query Issues linked to other issues within a project?

[Rui Rodrigues]

Hi community,

Taking the following JIRA structure:

Project RPPR
Issue A
Issue Links => Relates To
Issue A1
Issue A2

Issue B
Issue Links => Relates To
Issue B1
Issue B2

How can I retrieve all the related to issues inside A, B or any other parent Issue inside Project RPPR ?

Thank You in advance,

Rui Rodrigues

Hello @Rui Rodrigues 

You can use the linkedIssues() function in JQL. Refer to this document for details on advanced JQL querying.

So in pseudo-JIRA(!), how can I pass "Issues of Project RPPR" inside linkedIssues() , so the query can be read as 

issues in linkedIssues("Issues of Project RPPR")

Using nested filters is not an option that is available in JIRA Cloud. See

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-18918

There are apps that you can add to JIRA that will give you that functionality.

If you go to the Marketplace and search for "jira subquery" that will bring up a few options. I cannot attest to the compatibility of any of the apps with JIRA Cloud, nor to their usefulness.

Do you know if such an add-on will work via REST, against JIRA search end point?

Thank you Trudy.

I do not know. I have not had to use the REST API much and never for such a use case.
