Need help with Structure for Jira Expr advanced expression - use of statusCategory attribute

Bruce Bowers

I am using Structure for Jira. I want to define an Expr expression to display the open issues that this issue is dependent on. I have a working expression for displaying all issues that this issue is dependent on:

WITH _format(issue) = """[${issue.key}|${issue.url}]""" :
issuelinks
.FILTER($.type = 'Dependency' AND $.source = this) 
.MAP(_format($.destination))

However, if I try to change the filter to display only the open issues using the statusCategory attribute, it doesn't work:

WITH _format(issue) = """[${issue.key}|${issue.url}]""" :
issuelinks
.FILTER($.type = 'Dependency' AND $.source = this AND $.destination.statusCategory != 'Done') 
.MAP(_format($.destination))

I would expect the attribute statusCategory to have one of the following values:  "To Do", "In Progress", or "Done".  However, the expression above doesn't work.  Is statusCategory the right name for this attribute in Expr?  Is there something else I am doing wrong?

Hello @Bruce Bowers 

You can try this formula:

WITH _format(issue) = """[${issue.key}|${issue.url}]""" :
issuelinks
.FILTER($.type = 'Dependency' AND $.source = this)
.MAP(if $.destination.status.category != "Done" :_format($.destination))

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance or have other questions about Structure - please reach out to us directly at our support portal and we'll get back to you shortly.
