JQL to return issues selected in a Scriptrunner custom single Issue Picker field?

[Anna-Marie Blinn]

I have a Scriptrunner custom single issue picker field "Master" which is used on selected custom issue types to allow users to select from a subset of Epics.  This is used for a slightly different purpose than the built-in Epic field, and I need to have both. 

When using JQL to search for issues, if I use 

issueFunction in issuePickerField('Master')

I get a list of all of the issues where the user has selected something in the Master field.  What I want is to get a list of the issues (Epics) that were selected in that field (like what "epicsOf" returns, except this would be for the Master field, rather than the built-in Epic fields).

Am I missing something? Is there a way to do this with JQL?  (Based on what I read in the Scriptrunner docs, I do not have the skill / knowledge / tools to create my own JQL custom function.)

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, I don't think the existing function allows that.

I would recommend making a feature request to get the reverse of the current issuePickerField function.

Thank you, feature request submitted.

Ran into the same problem. Ended up with a custom "epicsOf"-like JQL-function:

package com.onresolve.jira.groovy.jql

class presalesOf extends AbstractScriptedJqlFunction implements JqlQueryFunction {

@Override
String getDescription() {
"Get Presales of issues fetched from query"
}

@Override
List<Map> getArguments() {
[
[
description: "Subquery",
optional : false,

]
}

@Override
String getFunctionName() {
"presalesOf"
}


@Override
Query getQuery(QueryCreationContext queryCreationContext, FunctionOperand operand, TerminalClause terminalClause) {

JiraAuthenticationContext context = ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext()
ApplicationUser applicationUser = context.getLoggedInUser()

BooleanQuery.Builder boolQueryBuilder = new BooleanQuery.Builder()
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def cFieldPresale = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectsByName("Presale").getAt(0)
String queryPrefix = "((Presale is not Empty AND project != PRESALE) OR (FieldName is not Empty AND project = PRESALE AND issueType != Epic))"
String subquery = "${queryPrefix} AND ${operand.args[0]}"
issues = getIssues(subquery, applicationUser)
Collection<Issue> issuesPresales = (issues.findAll { it }*.getCustomFieldValue(cFieldPresale)) as Collection<Issue>
issuesPresales = issuesPresales?.unique()
issuesPresales.each {Issue issue -> 
try {
boolQueryBuilder.add(new TermQuery(new Term("issue_id", issue.id as String)), BooleanClause.Occur.SHOULD)
} catch(NullPointerException NPE) {

}
}

return boolQueryBuilder.build()
}

}

I am looking for the same solution

have you found a solution for that?

[Anna-Marie Blinn]

No solution yet.  It is sitting with Atlassian as a new feature request.

[Peter-Dave Sheehan]

You won't get any traction with an Atlassian feature request.

This is a scriptrunner JQL functionality. 

You need to ask Adaptavist for this: https://productsupport.adaptavist.com/servicedesk

[Anna-Marie Blinn]

Apologies, teach me for responding too early my time.  I meant that it's with Adaptavist.
