Can't find Portfolio fields in Automation for JIRA

Question

Hello,

We are on JIRA Data Center (version 8.20.10) and are pilot testing Automation for JIRA plugin (8.1.1) in Dev JIRA.

We do not find any advanced roadmap fields such as parent link/ Initiative Link/ Capability link in the dropdowns for conditions or actions. (issue fields condition or create issue action or edit issue action).

We are trying to achieve an ask where in we can get a list of all the child issues of all the Capabilities in project XYZ. If there are 8 Capabilities in project XYZ, the query should return all the Epics, Stories, sub tasks underneath all the 8.

Could you help suggest if we are missing anything.

Hello Stephen,

Apologies for the delay, we were busy with our standardization process.

* They are all unordered issues under the parent of the specified project. The project used to be provided as an argument while running the script, and it would fetch us a list of all the issues under all the initiatives in that project.
* We do not have Script Runner, but we do have Power Scripts for JIRA.

Thank you!

Hi @Eshita

Thanks for this information - a few more queries...

* How would these lists be formed? Is it just a list of all the issues regardless of order? Or is this an ordered list of issues under their respective parents?
* Do you have any Apps with additional JQL functions? For example, Scriptrunner?
