Scriptrunner: issuefunction within another issuefunction's subquery doesn't work

John Carson

The following query:
issueFunction in issuesInEpics("issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf(\"issue in (CO-4)\",'Parent Collection Of')")

Returns the error: Error in the JQL Query: Expecting either 'OR' or 'AND' but got '"'. (line 1, character 18)

I have access to a server version of Jira with Scriptrunner and this same format does resolve correctly to give results.

If I remove the \ characters, giving me:

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("issue in (CO-4)",'Parent Collection Of')")

The error changes to: Failed to get issues in epic

So I think I solved this specific one by changing to this:
issueFunction in issuesInEpics(issue in linkedIssues (CO-4, "Parent Collection Of"))

Basically I am not needing to use a scriptrunner function within a subquery of a scriptrunner function. With that said, I would like to understand if that would in fact be supported.

Hi John,

I can confirm that ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud does not support nesting an enhanced search function that it provides inside of the subquery of another enhanced search function which means you will be unable to achieve doing this inside of Jira Cloud.

Unfortunate but thank you for the reply.

Hi John,

I have checked and can confirm that although you cannot directly nest queries that as a workaround you can first to create a query to return the results from the enhanced search function which you want to nest and can save this as a filter with a unique name.

You can then create a second query which calls this saved filter inside of the subquery of enhanced search function that you want to nest it in, in order to return all the issues for the filer you saved previously.

For your reference, I can confirm that the JQL that you would use in the subquery to return the results of the filter is filter = <NameOfFilterHere>.

An example of this would be similar to below where I have given the example syntax to show how to return issues from another filter inside the issueInEpics function.

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("filter =<FilterNameHere>")

I hope this information helps.

Regards,

Kristian
