Wildcard search specifically for issues

Question

I have been searching the various wildcard search questions and can't find one that addresses my specific issue. We have multiple Jira projects running in our org. One of the Jira projects is a Feedback Collector of sorts. When feedback is submitted from within our production app, it creates a ticket in the "Feedback" project. QA manages this project and when an issues is accepted as a valid bug, it is "moved" from Feedback to the correct project for the associated dev team, lets call this project "Accelerate" for simplicity in my example.

I need to query for all issues where project = Accelerate AND linked issues are from the Feedback project.

This is what I am trying and I cannot figure out how to get the "FEED" issues to wildcard so that I can find all relevant items.

project in (ACCE) AND issue in linkedIssues(FEED-*)

Any ideas???

I don't believe there is any way to do what you're asking in native Jira.

Options:

* Work with your QA department to add an additional field to the issue when it is created in the Accelerate project. Then use the new field in your query
* Work with your Jira admin to license an add-on plugin which enable the query you need to do. If you were on Jira Server the "Search Linked Issues" or Scriptrunner" plugin can do it. You appear to be on Jira Cloud. The "ScriptRunner" and "JQL Search Extensions" plugins should be able to do what you need.

The issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf referenced by Ben is in the Scriptrunner plugin.

Hmmm, that gives me a JQL error:

"Field 'issueFunction' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."

My Jira Admin is on PTO, so perhaps I will try again next week when he is back and I can verify permissions.

project in (ACCE) AND issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("project in (FEED)")

Try this. linkedIssuesOf takes a query as a parameter, so it returns all issues linked to the FEED project. Let me know if that worked!
