Filter and display only linked issue in filter query

[Davide Barri]

In the filter issue query, I would like to see the list of features linked to the Portfolio epic with the relationship "Split to". Currently I can see all the issue linked to the porfolio epic (issue link), but I cannot select just the ones with relationship "split to". 

is possible to filter in order to export just the issue related with at least one portfolio epic but i don't want this. I want to display in the column "linked issue" just the issue with split to so I can also click and open just issue with the relationship "Split to"

Is it feasible?

Hi Lisa,

I found a solution. There is a custom field called "Linked issues details" that is automatically populated with the linked issues. You can personalize it with the relationship type.

Hi @Davide Barri , 

Welcome to the community!

Not sure I entirely get what you are after but I'll give it a try.

You will not be able to present a column in a filter view that only contains links to issues of a specific linktype. To achieve that you have to explore if Automation can pull out certain links and then represent those links in a new custom field that can be displayed as a column.

You would need to go the other way round and use the filtering options to find the list of features linked to your Epic using these advanced filtering options:

• Find issues that are linked to a particular issue:
  issue in linkedIssues(ABC-123)

• Find issues that are linked to a particular issue via a particular type of link:
  issue in linkedIssues(ABC-123,"is duplicated by")

Issue links filtering and reporting is a little bit of a weak spot in Jira, see the doc on the native Jira filtering options here.   Addons Scriptrunner give you more advanced filtering options.

There are other ways to work with visualising hierarchies though (I think your Feature to Epic is a hierarchy?) . Maybe visualising this in the dependency view in Plans / Advanced Roadmaps?  Addon Structure for Jira lets you display a hierarchy of issues filtered on specific link types.

All the best

Hi Lisa,

thanks for your answer.

Basically what I want is that in the field Links it will appear only the issue linked with the link type "Split to" and I want to remove the other issues.

I'm not sure if this is feasible.

There is a function called "linkedIssues()" but it only filter the result, it not removed the issues.

Yes, I suspected you wanted this visualisation. Not possible in the filter view  I am afraid.

The only way I can think of that will produce exactly what you want is to create another custom field (which then can be represented as a column in your filter view) and work with automation to fetch and update that field with links of that specific kind. And I am not totally sure it can be done with automations..

I think the better option is to explore the addon market for specific addons for views that visualize links.
