Hi @Krishnan

As you're on Jira Cloud, the correct answer is to get an app that provides JQL extensions you're looking for.

With standard JQL, you can only get a list of issues and export them to Excel for further processing. This works if you want to do a one-off analysis. If your use case is more dynamic than that, look beyond standard Jira.

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow it, but you can quickly find the results using our professional indexing service JQL Search Extensions

You can use our function LinkedIssuesOfQuery for a given JQL subquery and an optional link type, it finds issues linked to resulting issues. For example, to find issues that are linked in any way with epics that are in progress, you can use this query:

issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("type=Epic AND status='To Do'")

Check out our documentation about links for more examples.

If you have any other questions, please contact our support. We’ll be happy to help you!
Best regards,
Maurício

Hi @Krishnan -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

A Jira board is a view based on a filter of issues.  If you create a filter meeting the criteria you want, it can be shown as a board, such as a Kanban board.

However, what you asked is not possible with the built-in features of Jira: selecting issues based on the status of linked issues.  To do that you may investigate and purchase addon on tools from the Atlassian Marketplace, as those enhance the features of the Jira Query Language, JQL, for filters.

Kind regards,
