How do I find bugs with no links?

Sandy Lyons

I'm using the Greenhopper Scrum board to group sprint items into swimlanes by story (using JQL queries to group them), on AOD.

I want to group all the bugs that are not linked to stories within my sprint into a Bugs swimlane so they aren't under the 'Everything Else' swimlane - there are other items in that such as tasks and improvements not currently related to stories.

Is this possible via JQL? I don't seem to be able to do a catch-all JQL query for issues that have no links - along the lines of "issuelinks is empty" or "issuelinks is null"

Being able to say "issuetype=bug and ISSUE is not linked" would be nice. Is there some way to do this on AOD at the moment?

Hi Sandy,

I just found in the Advanced Search Documention following solution

issuetype =Bug and issuekey not in linkissues()

I haven't tried it yet, but it should work.

EDIT:

I tried it now and it is not working. The function linkissues() requires an issue key as parameter.

So I have to change my answer into: No, there is no way to achieve this in Ondemand.

Sorry!

Cheers, Udo

... or

issuetype = bug and issuetype in standardIssueTypes()

to avoid subTaskIssueTypes()

... not tested.

Udo Brand

Hmm, I doubt this function "standardIssueTypes()" exists in standard JQL.

But even if it would exists:

If bug is a standard issuetype your query would give you all bugs with or without linked issues.

If bug is a subtask issue type your query would show nothing.

Tom Haraldsen

Agree in your conclusion:-) Sorry!

... but the "standardIssueTypes()" exist.

Try typing "issuetype in "

If you have groovy script runner it has few really usefull JQL functions. hasLinks is one of them

Unfortunately you can pass only one link type to this function so the JQL for this would be:

issuetype = Bug and issueFunction not in hasLinkType("Blocks") and issueFunction not in hasLinkType("Cloners") and issueFunction not in hasLinkType("Relates") and issueFunction not in hasLinkType("Duplicate") and issueFunction not in hasLinkType("Epic-Story Link")
