Searching for all issues that have indicated they are blocked by other issues

Rosa Heckle

I want to search for all issues that have been linked and identified as a blocker by another specific issue.

I want to be able to find out all issues for a specific user that are blocking another issue.

I can't do it in simple search (or I don't know how), and I don't know the field name(s) to use to write the JQL.

You can't do that out of the box. You could use some plugins to help you out though. My pick would be Jamie's Script runner and especially the scripted JQL funtions since it's free of charge:

Other that that there are more plugins out there like Search linked issues...
