How to get customfield value using JQL

Vineela Durbha

Hi All,

I wanted to know if there is any inbuilt function which can give us the values of customfield using JQL . This customfield has other project issues and I am trying to extract those issues .

I am looking on something like issue in issuelinks()

Is this kind of extraction possible. Please someone help me.

JQL does not have anything to say about fields.  JQL just finds issues.  Literally - you run a search and all you get back is a list of issues that match the search criteria.  No fields, no information, just a flat list.

You then take that list and run it through something which reads those issues.  This is what looks at (custom) fields.  The issue navigator simply shows them in columns, the issue statistics gadget looks at the number of fields with data and splits the list into groups, and so-on.

Could you explain what you are trying to achieve in a bit more detail?  "Customfield has other project issues" does not make sense out of context, and you have not said what you really want.  Imagine I am an end-user who doesn't care about the tech behind it - what do I want to see on my screen?
