Measuring issues that have a linked issue in another project matching a certain condition

Question

Hi,

I'd like to measure in/outflow on issues in project A that have a link to project B where the linked issue matches a certain condition. I assume I need to import both projects and import the issue links as well, but how to continue from there, do you have an example setup?

Hi @Cornelia Richter ,
​
The function 'linkedissuesOf'​ is a part of the ScriptRunner app that works within Jira.
​The eazyBI reports use a separate eazyBI data cube that holds data imported from Jira.
​
Depending on your requirements, several options might be possible to get the same effect as 'linkedissuesOf'.
​
​If you want a static filter built into the measure - you might address the linked issues by their issue keys.

​The below sample code fragment creates a set of issues from project A that have linked issues in status To Do and where linked issues are created within the selected time period.
​This set of issues from A could be used in further calculations.
​

Filter(
--generating a set of A project issues
  DescendantsSet([Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember, [Issue].[Issue]),
--actual filter
  Count(
 --Filtering the linked issues
    Filter(
 -- Generating set of linked issues
    [Issue].[Issue].GetMembersByKeys([Issue].[Issue].CurrentHierarchyMember.Get('All links')),
--conditions for linked issues - status To Do and created within current reporting period
    [Status].[Status].GetMemberNameByKey([Issue].[Issue].CurrentMember.Get('Status ID')) = "To Do"
     AND
    DateInPeriod([Issue].[Issue].CurrentMember.Get('Created at'), [Time].CurrentHierarchyMember)
   ) --end filter for linked issues
  ) --end count
  >0)

Alternatively, you might import the linked issue field dimension as a JavaScript calculated custom field. Then you might filter A issues based on the value of their linked B issue field through the page filter. 
​
​The best approach depends on your setup and requirements. If you get stuck - feel free to contact us directly.

Sorry,my question is related to eaziBI where I want to setup a measurement as described. How can I use the 'linkedIssuesOf' function in there?
