issueLinkType not returning results

[Daniel Judd]

What am I missing? 

Environment: Jira Cloud, linking is enabled, Jira admin priv's.  

I'm trying to use the JQL issuelinktype to show items that are either blocking or blocked by other issues. Using the suggested JQL (issueLinkType = "is blocked by", I get no results.   

Should return an issue since i have the following:

I get the same "no issues found" for other issue links like duplicate and blocks. 

Any ideas?

Hello Daniel,

I hope you are having a nice day.

Checking the tags you added, I believe you are using JIRA Cloud, right?

As you can see in the drop-down of the page you linked, the issueLinkType parameter is not available on JIRA Cloud. It is only available on JIRA 8.0 Server:

We have a feature request opened to implement such functionality on Cloud:

- Enhance Issue Link Type Search

For now, you can use Scriptrunner plugin which provides you with the parameter to search for the issueLinkType as described in the documentation below:

- JQL Aliases - Scriptrunner

Let me know if this information helps.

Thanks @Petter Gonçalves 

I was reading the release notes on Jira 8: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftware/jira-software-8-0-x-release-notes-957981626.html which calls this feature out. Made the assumption this was on cloud as well. 

Back to SR we go!

You are welcome. :)

Have a nice day!
