Can I run an AQL search across multiple object schemas in Jira Assets

Ismael_5sy79b

Hi everyone,

I’m working with Jira Assets on a Data Center instance and I’m trying to run an AQL search that returns all objects related to a specific “Location” object, regardless of which object schema they belong to.

Example: I want to find every object that is linked to the Location with objectId = 744.
I expected something like this to work:

object having inboundReferences(objectId = 744)

or

objectSchema != EMPTY AND object having inboundReferences(objectId = 744)

However, when I run this from within a specific object schema, the query returns nothing. It looks like the search is being limited to the currently selected schema, even when the AQL itself does not specify one.

My question:
Is it possible in Jira Assets Data Center to perform an AQL search globally, across multiple object schemas?
If so, where exactly should I run the search, and does the AQL syntax change in this case?

Thanks in advance for any help or clarification!

Hello @Ismael ,

In Jira Assets (Data Center), AQL queries are always scoped to a single object schema and cannot be run globally.
To search across schemas, first list all object schemas using /rest/insight/1.0/objectschema/list, then execute the same AQL query for each schema by passing its objectSchemaId to the Assets AQL REST API. Loop through the schemas and aggregate the results in your code.
