linkedIssues without a plugin

Todd Anderson_0blecr

Hello,

I'm trying to create a board in Jira Cloud that shows the issues linked to stories in my project. From what I can tell, you need to buy Script Runner to get the linkedIssues function in JQL. Seems strange that you would have to pay for a basic feature to get a list of linked issues. Is there a way to do this in the standard Jira Cloud instance?

If not, is it on the Jira Cloud roadmap to add this simple feature to JQL for free?

Thank you.

Nope, not on the roadmap.

Linkedissue and linkedissues() are already built in. See https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/advanced-search-reference-jql-functions/

You don't need Scriptrunner or any other app for this (although my marketing people would kill me if I didn't mention that Scriptrunner adds a whole load more with its Enhanced Search function)

Nice subtle plug Nic. 😂

Thanks. It's not quite what I'm looking for... I'm looking to get the linked issues for all the stories in my project, not just a single issue. Is there a way to get this with out-of-the-box Jira Cloud (understanding that you work for Adaptavist)?

something like...

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("project=IDP")

That is where you hit the “you need an addon”. 😔

Hi @Todd Anderson ,

Thanks for posting in community.

I don't think so, it can be done though JQL as below -

e.g. - Suppose there two cards linked with a card and if I pass the Issue-id below in this JQL it should list those two cards.

linkedIssue in linkedIssues("Issue-Id")

Please accept the answer if it solves your query else please respond and allow others to share input.

Cheers

That works fine if you have a single issue you’re looking at. However Todd is looking for A solution that works across the entire project. So he doesn’t have “the issue ID”. Unless I’m missing something here

Yes Jack, that's correct. I'd like to see all the issues that are linked to every story in a project. e.g. dependency tracking on a Kanban board.

In an ideal world, it would even automatically show the nested view, but I'll settle for just visualising all the linked issues for now.

Hi @[deleted]/ @Jack Brickey ,

Can we try something like this to find out with out Script runner/Any plugin etc.?

project = XXX AND issueLinkType in ("is blocked by", blocks,Blocks, "is cloned by", clones, Cloners, "is duplicated by", duplicates,Duplicate, "is caused by", causes, "Problem/Incident", "relates to", Relates);

The link types might vary but it should return all the linked issues. This can be customised with issue type story also.

Please accept the answer if it solves your query else please respond and allow others to share input.

Cheers

Hi,

With standard JQL you can only get a list of issues with links and export them to Excel for further processing. This works if you want to do a one-off analysis.

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow it but the results can be quickly found using our professional indexing service:

JQL Search Extensions

After you install the app you can simply search:

linkedByIssueProject=IDP

You may want to check out the docs as well.

I hope this helps!

@Suvradip Paul pay attention to

With standard JQL you can only get a list of issues with links and export them to Excel for further processing. This works if you want to do a one-off analysis.

That's basically where you need a plugin unless you requirements are very simplistic like getting links of an issue with a known key.

Suvradip Paul

Thanks @Rahul_RVS for understanding.

@Daniel Turczanski - JQL Search Extensions - Thanks for responding.

I just mentioned the issue statement. If you see the last statement from @[deleted]you would be able to get the expectation.
