How to filter/query all issues with more than one layer of linking

Question

Hi,

I tried to search existing posts, but did not seem to find anything similar to my question.

I have an issue hierarchy something like this:

A linked to (consists of) B  and C

B linked to (consists of) x and y

while C linked to (consists of) m and n.

I would like to query what are the leaf issues in above example, i.e.: x, y, m, n by using A as the indicator (query input).

Is it possible?

I know for one layer, I can query out B and C by using :

issue in linkedIssues(A, "consists of")

but I don't know how to get the further layer, the x, y, m and n.

Thanks

Thanks for the information, a 3PP add-on is not going to work for me in my case unfortunately, we are a small portion of a big project that I don't have the admin right to use any add-on.

Hi @li chen

If you are ok for a third party add-on, you can try out Agile Tools, to track progress of issues in your Links hierarchy

Agile Tools - Epic Tree, Links Tree and Time in Status

The add-on allows you to visualize your Links hierarchy with option to view all your custom fields on a single screen.

Key features of Links Hierarchy:

* Links Hierarchy upto 10 levels deep
* Progress % on "remaining estimate" or "original estimates"
* Edit Issue summary, time estimates, story points and assignee on the tree with real time updates in the progress
* Rolled up percentage completion at all levels

You also get 4 other important functionalities within the same plugin, Epic Hierarchy (standard Jira Epic -> Story -> Subtask hierarchy), Multiple Time in Status reports (to track your issues), Worklogs report and Timesheet screen

You welcome. none that I'm aware of. There are add-ons out there to extend the JQL but you want to make sure you choose the right platform since some of them are only support on server/DC and not on cloud.
