JQL to get the linked issues and group by parent issue type

Question

I have a query displaying the linked issues of a Bug displaying the linked issues status.

I want to group by linked issues with Bug

Project = 'PRO -1' and issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("type = IST", "is implemented by")

Any suggestions or plugins would be helpful.

Cheers

Dev

HI @dmani2

If you would be interested in an app to view your linked issues and that too in a tree view, you may want to try our plugin.

Issue Hierarchy

The app shows your linked issue hierarchy in a tree view. The app can help you easily Sum up values (time tracking/story point/custom numeric fields) to see overall progress for your Issues at each parent level, in percentage terms.

Also it allows to filter your linked issue with custom JQL and grouping at parent level as well.

Do give it a spin.

Hi @dmani2

welcome to the community!

I'd need to understand your requirements a bit better to advice on the exact setup or configuration - but if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a range of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

With these, you can easily build a view like e.g. this in just a couple of clicks:

This would show linked issues grouped by the task that they are linked to. This may not be exactly what you're looking for - however it is really just one of a virtually endless number of possible views and reports, and I'm confident that you could model your specific use case, too. (Happy to help when I understand your requirements a bit better.)

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hello @dmani2

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Filter results can only be sorted, not grouped.

I don't believe there is any way to do what you want even sort the issues based on issues referenced through links.
