Can you query for issues that have more than one link with link type of "Is a child of" in JQL?

[Zach Mueller]

We have recently set up some integrations with Jira that are based on of the "Parent/Child" link type in Jira. However, we have run into an issue when a Task has more than one Parent link added to it, because the system does not know which Parent issue to integrate into the new system. Our hope is to create a Filter in Jira to show all Tasks that have multiple "is a child of" link to other issues in Jira, so we can find the ones we need to evaluate and determine the correct parent for. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hello @Zach Mueller

Out of the box it's not possible, using a paid plugin you can do it.

https://addonrock.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/557163/JQL+Functions#JQLFunctions-numberOfLinkedIssuesFromQuery()

Examples:

Finds all linked issues from DEMO project which contain more than two linked issues.
issue in linkedIssuesFromQuery("project = DEMO",">","2")
