JQl to get jira issues that are and whose parents are linked to a Product Discovery Idea

Julie Leonard_e48mbk

Our product team wants the following work items on a Jira board in their own swimlane:

1. Work items (stories, bugs, epics) that are individually linked to Product Discovery idea

2. AND any stories, tasks, bugs whose parent is linked to a Product Discovery idea

I can get #1 working with the following JQL: (Using the Advanced JQL Functions add-on)

project = "FMA" and issue in LinkedIssuesOfQuery("project=PM AND (status='Define' OR status='Discover' or status='Ready for Build')")

This gives me the list of work items that are directly linked to the JPD idea.

I cannot for the live of me figure out how to get the children of the parents that are linked.

Any help or alternative ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Julie,

I would say the easiest way to handle that is to create a custom Issue Link Type specifically for JPD projects. Then your query would just look for that link type.

Thank you, @John Funk Good idea!

Wouldn't that interfere with the way JPD links to Jira work items?

hmm good question. It looks like JPD uses an Implements issue link type for JPD to Jira. Is that correct? Look at the issue in Jira if you linked to it from JPD and see what the link type is. If so, then you should be able to query using that link type.

Hi @Julie Leonard and @John Funk

From the UX and JQL, the JPD link to "delivery tickets" uses the "implements" link type. For example

MySoftwareProject-123 "implements" MyJPDIdea-456

Behind the scenes, that is named the "Polaris issue link" type.

Inverting that type for JQL, this would return the "delivery tickets" to the Idea:

issue IN linkedIssues(MyJPDIdea-456, "is implemented by")

And so this could be used, and yet...unfortunately, Jira does not prevent using the "implements" link type for anything else outside of JPD. So please verify that in your searches.

Kind regards,
Bill
