How to filter request by portal categories

serge calderara

Dear all,

I have setup jira Service Desk with quite many service request organised in categories in customer portal.

What I am trying to achieve is to make a filter from jira in order to retrive all service request for each category configured in portal, then show that in Dashboard

Is there a way to retrive the category of a service Request from jira ?

I could find only the customer Request type any others map to categories ?

regards

I'm sorry to say I don't think there's a solution for that except for of course filtering manually in the JQL itself (project = xxx AND issuetype in (aaa, bbb, ccc)).

I understand this is exactly what you want to avoid so you can at any point modify your categories and not having to manually fix the JQL but I would say you can't.

Hopefully someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi @serge calderara

@Iago Docando is right, this isn't something that you can automatically do.

Iago's solution would work - or there is an alternative.

If you create a custom field called something like 'Portal Category' and fill it with your categories then you could hide it from your request form and have it pre-populated when the ticket is created. This way you could run a filter on that field.

Iago Docando

But then again the same problem remains... or even gets worse! If at some point he were to rearrange the issuetype list for any category of the project he would have to manually edit this new custom field for each issue. He could of course configure an automated task to do this in bulk but at the end of the day he must still manually do it, so it's no diffetent than manually edit the JQL filter itself in the first place.

@Iago Docando agreed with you, that would be batter if we can access the category information as part of the JQL querry in simlar way we can access the Customer Requet type we could have field like Customer Request Category,

Liam Green

@Iago Docando - I agree it would be much worse - and either way it would be a manual task. With your idea there would be much less chance of missing tickets.

@serge calderara - I think the reason it isn't done that way is because a Request Type could be included in more than one Category so Jira would struggle with this
