filter on information contained in a linked issue

[olivia-externe.delpierre]

Hello :)

I created a Kanban board where I only want to see the features.

I would like to be able to create a swim lane based on information contained in the user story which is contained in my feature.

For example, i have a feature which contains several user stories.
If one of the user stories contains a specific label, then the feature will go if this specific swim lane.

Is this possible ?

Thank you

Hi @olivia-externe.delpierre

As you're on Jira Cloud, the correct answer is to get an app that provides JQL extensions you're looking for.

With standard JQL, you can only get a list of issues and export them to Excel for further processing. This works if you want to do a one-off analysis. If your use case is more dynamic than that, look beyond standard Jira.

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow it, but you can quickly find the results using our professional indexing service JQL Search Extensions

You can use this query to find all the features, that are linked to the problems which contains "x" in the labels

issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("type = story and labels = x”) and type = feature

Check out the documentation for more examples.

If you have any other questions, please contact our support. We’ll be happy to help you!
Best regards,
Maurício

Hello @olivia-externe.delpierre 

Welcome to the community.

How is the Story linked to the Feature? Are you using the generic issue linking functionality or are you using parent/child functionality that is available through roadmapping features or natively available for an Epic and its child issues?

Are you working with Jira Cloud or Jira Server/Data Center?

Generally speaking, Jira does not have built-in functionality to selecting issues based on criteria applied to linked or child issues. That usually requires use of a third party app. Do you have any third party apps on your Jira instance that extend the filtering capabilities? You may need to check with your Jira Administrators to find out.

Hello @Trudy Claspill thank you for your answer.

The feature "contains" the story.

I'm not sure about your other questions unfortunately.

If the URL for your system is something like

https://<yourCompany>.atlassian.net

then you are working in Jira Cloud. If the URL is something else, then you are working in Jira Server/Data Center.

When you are viewing the Feature do you see a section that shows "Linked Issues" (vs. "Child Issues")? Are the stories in the Linked Issue or Child Issue section? If they are in the Linked Issues section then the relationship is based on generic issue linking.

As I said, Jira does not natively support creating the kind of query you want. It will required a third party app be added to your instance. There are several that might help which can be found in the Altassian Marketplace. App availability depends on your hosting type (Cloud, Server, or Data Center), and apps can be installed only be Jira Administrators. Here is a sample Marketplace search that doesn't constrain the results based on hosting type:

The URL is

https://<yourCompany>.atlassian.com

The section is called Issue Links and the stories are also in the "issue links" section :)

I will have a look at the marketplace, thanks a lot !
