Jira/Plans: displaying all linked issues of issues in one project

[Corinne Guibert]

Hello

I have multiple projects in Jira (each project being managed by a separated team). The goal is to display in Plans/Timeline one project (list of issues) and all the dependencies coming from the other projects and only the depending tickets (in line, not in badge).

Example:  I have one entry project (MAIN) and several other projects P1, P2, P3

One ticket (M1) in MAIN is linked to 

* P1-1 from P1

* P2-11 and P2-13 from P2

* P3-2 from P3

I want to be able to display in Plans (in the timeline view, in lines):

* All my issues from MAIN

* P1-1, P2-11, P2-13 and P3-2 from other projects

But I don't want to see P3-1 for example as it is not linked to anything from the MAIN project

So far:

* either I select that I want to display all the projects and I have everything

* or I select that I want to see only my MAIN project but I don't see the dependencies from other projects

I'm new to Plans so I don't know if I missed a configuration step or if this is a limitation (which would be quite a huge limitation: what is the point of Plan if we re not able to see the dependency chain in on project ? )

Any idea would be welcome 

Thanks

Hello @Corinne Guibert 

Essentially you need to base your plan on a filter that selects all issues from MAIN and all issues linked to MAIN issues.

Natively Jira does not provide filter capabilities to produce that. It would require a third party app like Adaptavist Scriptrunner Enhanced Search. There are other apps that provide similar functionality to extend filtering capabilities.

With such an app you would construct a filter like

project=MAIN or issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf("project=MAIN")

https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4jc/latest/features/scriptrunner-enhanced-search/scriptrunner-enhanced-search-jql-functions/links-and-relationships#linkedissuesof

You would then base your Plan on the filter.
