Can I have my filter/query show only a specific Linked Issue type?

[HRumble]

Hello! I have a filter/query to return results for all issues with a specific label attributed to them; within that filter, I want to show only the Linked Issues of the results, that are of the "Defines" or "Is Defined By" type- when I export the results it has columns for all Linked Issue types (Clones, Blocks, etc.). Can I make it so only the specific linked issues types are shown for the export?

Thank you!

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The short answer is no. Jira does not natively provide a method to limit the output that displays in filter results for the Linked Issues "field".

There might be an option available through a third party app available in the Atlassian Marketplace. I have not looked for nor previously used an app that would provide that, so I don't have any specific suggestions.

Hi @HRumble

welcome to the community!

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields - including your issues' issue links - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets.

For issue links, you can configure it to show only issue links of certain issue link types just as you described. This is how it looks in action:

Here, I've added two issue links columns: One to show all issue links, and one to only show "blocks" issue links. This is really just an example; you have full control over which issue link types you want to show.

Of course, you can export your exact view to XSLX (i.e, Excel or Google Sheets) or CSV in just one click.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @HRumble 

Welcome to the Atlassian community !!

As everyone suggested, if you would like to try out an add-on for this use case, pls take a look at 

Issue Hierarchy 

The app shows your issue hierarchy in a tree view created through Issue Links. The Issues in the tree can be in multiple projects and the app will pull out each one of them and show you a structured hierarchy. You can also filter specific linked issues as per your requirement.

The app has multiple other features which are very useful in project tracking and management.
