How to query "is a successor of" and "is a predecessor of" ?

Michael Ellis

I'm looking to create a filter to look for values if the linked issue fields are not blank?

In other words, if a story has a value for linked issue and predecessor or successor is selected, how can I list all of those issues? Or maybe just query where the linked issue/predecessor has a value in it.

Thank you.

I am unfamiliar with successor and predecessor terms. Is it possible that you have created link types with these names?

to query for issues without links - issuelinktype is not empty

to query for issues with links of type “successor” - issuelinktype = successor

When you're on issue view screen, and you click on link issue, there are a number of option, one being a successor of and another is predecessor of. I can't figure out a way to create a jql query for this field. Once you chose a value, the issue will have the field populated similar to:

Have you tried the JQL (advanced search) that Jack suggested yesterday?

Michael Ellis

Hi Nic. Yes I did. It worked, kind of with a modification seen here:

issueLinkType = "is a successor of"

The is not empty returned a huge list of issues with no visible values at all in the linked issue field.

Unfortunately the results aren't what I was hoping for. I intended to use the query for a dash app to display dependencies but I was hoping to see some of that is a predecessor or is a successor of text in the response. Instead I get:

I'll have to settle for 1 filter for successor of and label the app so and one for predecessor as well. Would be a nice ootb app I'd imagine people would be interested in built around the links field and specifically around dependencies but, I can work with this by making the query more robust to only grab linked items != done or something.

So thnx Jack. You got me on my way.
