Hello @Wani, Yash

It is not possible to create the filter you want with native Jira filtering functionality. It would be possible with certain third party apps.

For instance ScriptRunner Enhanced Search offers the linkedIssueOf() function.

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

project=ALPHAPQR and issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf("project=ALPHAXYZ")

That would give you all issues in ALPHAPQR that are linked to issue in project ALPHAXYZ.

There are multiple apps available from the Atlassian Marketplace that extend the Jira filtering capabilities. More than one offers a feature like this.
