How to find all linked tasks with specific links?

Question

Hi!

There are lots of questions about how to find linked tasks with JQL, but can you please advise.

I need to find all epics and features (in a specific project) that do NOT have linked issues with the following link types: parent, associated with, etc.

I tried to use "issueFunction in hasLinks" but I'm nor sure how to:

1) include all link types,

2) how to place "not",

I use "issueFunction in hasLinks" because I need only outbound links.

Thanks!

You might need to use some JQL plugins like JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports

Here is example how to use the query

Find issues which are blocked by issues from project JQL with priority = Highest.

issue in linkedBy("is blocked by", "is related to", "project = JQL AND priority = Highest")

Hi, thanks!

It will not work as the idea to find all issues that do not have specific link type.

hi @Aleksandra Repina

If you want to get the list of issues linked to a specific issue, use the built in JQL function linkedIssues(issueKey).

If you want to get the list of issues linked to a specific issue with a specific link type, use the built in JQL function linkedIssues(issueKey, linkType).
