how to get test cases linked to motive in JIRA

[Rüdisühli Patrik (IT-SWE-CC3-TS2)]

Hi folks

I would like to check, if a issuetype:test is linked to a issuetype:motive. In other words, i would like to know, if a test is linked (test tests motive) or has NO link to a motive.

Or is there a possibility also to show the test key to which motive it is linked?

Gz, Patrik and many thx for helping

Hello @Rüdisühli Patrik (IT-SWE-CC3-TS2)

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

In order to better understand your question and confirm we are on the same page, can you please provide us with more details about the "Motive" issue type?

There is no default issue type called "Motive" in Jira Cloud application, so I'm wondering if you are talking about a customized issue type (created by your team) or an issue type provided by some third-party app you're currently using.

If "Motive" is just a customized issue-type, you can link each specific issue to any other issues (whatever its issue type) by configuring Issue links:

Configuring those issue links, your "Motive" issues can be linked to other issues in your application at the same hierarchical level.

Now, if you want your "Motive" issues to be at a higher hierarchical level, then you can look to use Epic issue types instead. Epics are used to group a big amount of work (issues) in a single place, so you can have a wider view of a specific scope:
