How do I find issueChildOf filter= in JQL?

Question

I have a filter that produces a result set. I want to find children and links of that result set.

The original filter returns issues based on labels and is saved as filter 12103

labels in (Paychex_Template_Org_SOW)

I am looking for the linked and child issues of those with the labels in the list.

For example,

issueChildOf in linkedIssues("BCD-3309") OR linkedIssue in linkedIssues("BCD-3309")

Instead of indicating the issue key BCD-3309, I want to get the issues that have the labels.

issuechildof in linkedIssues("filter=12103") OR linkedIssue in linkedIssues("filter=12103")

Hi @rachel_bollinger,

issuefunction in (...) comes with a marketplace app called ScriptRunner. If you are getting this error, it is probably because you don't have the app installed.

Jira natively has poor support for searching dynamically across parent-child or linked issue relationships. For use cases like this, you would need to look at a marketplace solution.

Thank you. I did attempt the issueFunction, but I receive an error that "Field 'issueFunction' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."

Hey @rachel_bollinger

Try:

issueFunction in childrenOf("labels in (Paychex_Template_Org_SOW)")

should work.
