JQL to get linked stories of epic and bugs linked to the stories

Question

Hello,

Can anyone suggest how can I get the list of all the stories linked to an epic and the bugs linked to the stories?

We have Scriptrunner and on the Jira server version we were using linkedIssuesOfAllRecursiveLimited function and it is no more available on the cloud version.

linkedIssuesOfRecursiveLimited function isn't giving the same results.

Hi @Vasanthram Srinivas,

In ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud, you can get all the stories for the epics using the issuesInEpics function. You can then save the query as a filter, which you can reference in your subsequent queries.

Here are the examples of how you can set this up:

Filter A

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("project = SUN")

To find all the stories for the SUN project's epics.

Filter B

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfRecursiveLimited("filter = "Filter A"", 1) OR filter = "Filter A"

To get the issues linked to the stories (recursion limit is 1 here) as well as all the stories for the SUN project's epics.

As a side note, it's important to mention that you can only utilize the JQL functions offered by ScriptRunner on the ScriptRunner Enhanced Search page, which is accessible via the following URL within Jira Cloud:

<Jira_Base_URL> /plugins/servlet/ac/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner/jql-search-view

For a more comprehensive understanding of the available functions and their comparisons between the server and cloud versions, you may refer to the following documentation: Comparison with ScriptRunner for Jira Server.

Hello Vasanthram Srinivas Have you completed a full cloud migration or recently installed ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud? If so, have you started and waited for the initial JQL keyword sync to complete as per our docs here? If this has not completed, it could explain you not seeing some results. My understanding is that you want to see all the stories that are a child of the epic and the bugs that then have some type of link to a bug? Please correct me if I am wrong. You can use issueFunction in issuesInEpics("issue = "), save this as a filter and then find it in the all filters menu and see the filter id in the URL. and then you can save a second filter below using the previous filter's ID filter = or (issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfRecursiveLimited(" ", 1) and type = bug) This should give you a list of all the children of the epic and the bugs linked to those child tickets. Let me know if that works for you. Best regards, Romy
