How to find my Dependencies?

Question

Is there a way to find the dependencies I created? We use a general Team of Team for everyone on my team but I can not figure out a way to view the Dependencies I created, or a way to see new dependencies just created.

Is this a function in align?

Hi @Dominique Greene you can also wanna use REST API to get a list of dependencies a given user created.

You can make a GET call towards /align/api/2/Dependencies endpoint and filter by createdBy property.  Here's an example using cURL:

curl -X 'GET' \
'https://instance.jiraalign.com/rest/align/api/2/Dependencies?$select=id&filter=contains(createdBy,'9999')' \
-H 'accept: application/json;odata.metadata=minimal;odata.streaming=true' \
-H 'Authorization: bearer user:9999|MyObfuscatedToken'

The returned JSON will look like the following:

[{"id":64},{"id":131},{"id":132},{"id":136}]

NOTE: Notice the token used to demonstrate that example is for a Super Admin.

The breakdown is as follows:

* select=id will tell Jira Align to return only the Dependency ID, not the entire entry
* filter=contains(createdBy,'9999') will tell Jira Align to only return Dependencies created by the user ID 9999

Hope it helps.

In addition the export of Dependencies does not include the author.  However, In EI (Enterprise Insights) there is the [Dependency Log] table has this data. Here is a query that can return that data:
SELECT [FK Dependency ID] ,DL.[Action Type] ,DL.[Detail Text] ,U.[Full Name] FROM [current_dw].[Dependency Log] AS DL WITH (NOLOCK) LEFT OUTER JOIN current_dw.[User] AS U WITH (NOLOCK) ON U.[User ID] = DL.[FK User ID] WHERE DL.[Action Type] = 'Created'
