Hi @shiwani sinha

I’m Charlotte, a support engineer at Appfire and I’m here to help you.

Unfortunately, using vanilla JQL, you’ll not be able to do it dynamically.

In the app where my team works, JQL Search Extensions for Jira, you can use this query to find bugs that are linked to stories and the stories linked to the bugs:

issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("project='My Project Name' AND status in (Development, QA, Closed) AND type = bug", "is a dependent of") AND type = Story OR issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("project='My Project Name' AND status in (Development, QA, Closed) AND type = Story”, "is a dependent of") AND type = Bug

Please contact our support if you have any other questions about this query.

We’ll be happy to help you!

Welcome to the community.  I agreed with what @Laurie Sciutti suggested.  JQL out of the box it is not possible.  You will need third party add-ons to give you those additional functionality (i.e. additional JQL functions).

The one that we used extensively is ScriptRunner for Jira - https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

It not only give you their custom JQL functions + also the add-on provide you a process where you can create your own JQL functions.

Hope this also helps.

Hello @shiwani sinha and welcome to the Community!  Unfortunately, the base Jira product does not provide this functionality natively.  If you use Scriptrunner, you can use the issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf(subquery) JQL function.

project = "MyProject name" AND status in (Development, QA, Closed) AND issuetype in (Story, Bug) and issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("issuetype = Bug, Story)", "is a dependent of")

I believe JQL Search Extensions for Jira also provides similar functionality.  Do you use either of these addons?
