Need help with JQL query subtasks and linked issues

Jenifer Kuntz

I have a parent issue with subtasks attached. The subtasks have linked issues that are at the parent level (bugs)

I am trying to write JQL to find the parent issue where all its subtask are closed and all the subtasks linked issue are closed. I am able to get the part where all the subtasks are closed, it is the link part that I am having issues with.

This is what I am using for the first part -

project = "PJM Maintenance" AND issuefunction in parentsOf("issuefunction in subtasksOf(\"issuefunction not in parentsOf('type in subTaskIssueTypes() and status != closed') and status != closed and type in standardIssueTypes()\") and status = closed")

I have script runner installed.

Thank you!

Jennifer: If you tag your question with script runner tag I am much more likely to respond.

Justin: Script Runner has all the jql functionality that that plugin has, and is free.

If you start by getting the second part right and saving it as a filter. Then use "in parentsOf("filter = 12345") ", that should work.

It's hard to nest several levels as you can't escape quotes in the jql search.

Hi Jenifer - I have seen other Atlassian customers do what you are looking to do using the Search Linked Issues Plugin. This plugin provides some JQL functions like subtaskIssuesFromFilter() and subtaskIssuesFromQuery() that I think may be worth looking into.

Hi Jenifer, there is free add-on: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ru.andreymarkelov.atlas.plugins.utils

With functions:

Issues subtasks JQL Function. This is JQL function "issuesSubtasks(?)" which returns list of issues that are subtasks of all issues in JQL query ?.
Issues parents JQL Function. This is JQL function "issuesParents(?)" which returns list of issues that are parents of all issues in JQL query ?.
