JQL for issueLinkType="blocks"

[Brad B]

Hey,

For a test, I have two issues: Issue One and Issue Two.  Issue Two "is blocked by" Issue One, by creating a link between those two records.

If I do the JQL statement: issueLinkType = "is blocked by", Issue Two is correctly the only issue that is returned.  Here is a screenshot of that query:

However, when I execute the JQL Query: issueLinkType = "blocks", (lower-case b, to distinguish it from "Blocks"), instead of only returning issues that block other issues, it returns all issues that are either blocking, or being blocked--in the example, both Issue One and Issue Two are returned.  Here is a screenshot of that query:

(1) How can I create a JQL query that will only return issues that block another issue, or (2) is this just a bug in how the "blocks" keyword behaves, at the moment?

Here is a quick video demonstration of the issue, in case anything about this question is unclear:  Link to quick YouTube video demonstrating question 

I've tried issueLinkType != "is blocked by", but that doesn't return anything.

Thanks, let me know if anything could use clarified.

The following link can be useful for checking if Jira's server meet the minimum recommendations i.e system memory, jvm heap size: Jira Sizing Guide

Also it will be useful to check the logs, as often performance issues are caused by certain errors. It might be a good idea to update Jira to the latest version (releases of JIRA applications commonly contain fixes for memory issues)

Yes,  I did a couple of changes,  for the jvmms, jvmmx,  set for 1024/1024 (for now)

our VM containing 8G memory,  what value do you think I should optimize these two parameters ? 

[Ash]

JVM min 1024 (jvmms)

JVM max 2048 (jvmmx)

I prefer setting like this, instead of giving same values to min and max.
