"Environment variables" in JQL statements

unknown

Hi,

I have with the help of posts here created a board filter that includes sub-tickets in my Kanban board. However, when the sub-ticket is added, the issue is moved from its originating swim lane to 'Everything else'.

I get I may have to edit the swim lane rules as well... Sigh. This will be really cumbersome with many sites to administer.

Would it be possible to define anything like 'environment variables', that could then be reused in expressions like JQL?

It would be quite nice to have the configuration in one place and then refer to it in expressions. Much cleaner and less risk of mistakes.

Thanks

Can you provide an example? I can't understand the goal.

I cannot post the actual filters, but what I try to say is that I will need to duplicate the same expressions in multiple places, in multiple but similar projects, boards and swimlanes. And if something changes in the environment, I then have to change it in all places these JQL expressions are used. And they are many... This makes Jira feel slightly outdated, but hopefully there is a way to achieve this.

If you can't provide an example then I don't know how to help. Since I don't know the specifics, my only answer would be to save parts of a query as a Filter and then include that filter in subsequent queries.

For instance --

Save a filter with query 'assignee in membersOf("jira-users")' and name it 'Assigned to User'.
Create a new query like 'filter = "Assigned to User" AND resolution is EMPTY' and name it 'Unresolved and Assigned to User'.

Does this illustrate my point?

Hi,

This actually sounds promising. What you are proposing uses the same principal I was looking for. I was unaware I could use a filter in another filter... I will try this out, thanks a lot!

Thanks, Pontus
