Find issues that are linked to another Jira instance

dirtbiker1824 December 6, 2020

I am trying to find all issues within Instance 1 that are linked to instances 2. I have tried "IssueLinkType" but this doesn't seem to work across instances. 


Example. I have IT-1 on instance 1 that "is driven by" EA-10 on instance 2 (EA-10 "drives" IT-1). "Is driven by" and "drives" is an issue link type that exists on instance 2.

On instance 1 I try the query <IssueLinkType = "is driven by"> but I don't get any results. The odd thing is that the "is driven by" is a valid link type and it is auto-populated in my list of available link types. 

Does anyone know of a way to get IssueLinkType to work across instances or have another query string that can be used to find all issues within an instance that link to another instance?
