Does it exist a JQL instruction to retrieve Work Item associated to a named Goals.

"Goals[Goals]" is not empty --> Ok
"Goals[Goals]" = "xxxx" --> Ko
"Goals[Goals]" ~ "xxxx" --> Ko
"Goals[Goals]" IS "xxxx" --> Ko
"Goals[Goals]" IN ("xxxx") --> Ko

Thanks for your help.

Regards

Hello @Eric Guesdon 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Goals have keys like work items do; i.e. in my instance a specific Goal has the key TCLAS-1. You can use the Goal key in the JQL; i.e.

"Goals[Goals]" =TCLAS-1

If you try to use the goal summary you will see an error message indicating you need to use the key.

I don't see the key displayed in the UI for the goal, but I see it in the URL and tab label in the browser (Chrome).

@Eric Guesdon , please correct me if I am wrong but I understood you wanted to query Jira work items that are related to Goals

^ for example, this is a goal which has a 'contributing Jira work item' associated with it.

What is it that you are trying to achieve @Eric Guesdon ?

Best wishes
