Filter issues by 'is blocked by', 'blocks' and other link types

[Alexander Afonyashin]

Hello,

Is there any chance to filter issues in particular project that either block issues in other projects or are blocked by them?

Best regards,

Alexander Afonyashin

Hi Alexander,

This unfortunately cannot be done using the native JQL functions. Currently the 'linkedIssues()' function of the JQL only works basing its search on an issue key.

However, there are a couple of plugins that can help in this case, depending on what version of JIRA you are using:

• The Craftforge JQL Functions Plugin is a free third-party plugin that currently only available for JIRA 5.0.7 tops, so if you have a newer version this won't help. However, if you are using a version of JIRA older than that, you can use either the linkedIssuesFromQuery or the linkedIssuesFromFilter functions of the plugin to return this search.
• If you use JIRA 5.1, than the only option I believe is to use the JQL Tricks Plugin, which is a paid third-party plugin. It has also a variety of function that you can use to search for linked issues, as well as for different functions

I hope this helps!

Best regards,
Matheus Fernandes

Matheus,

Thank you for pointing me to plugin. It seems doing the thing I'm looking for.

Is JQL Tricks Plugin the only solution for Jira 6.0.8 or newer? We too would like a way to find all issues with "is blocked by" or "blocks" links to other issues.

There's a typo in the JQL Tricks Plugin link above. The correct link is JQL Tricks Plugin.

Hello, sorry for the necromancy but is this still impossible with the new versions of jira? how about cloud hosted jira?

Is there any chance this would make it onto a roadmap?

I'm new to Jira, is OnDemand the Atlassian hosted Jira vs a licensed version hosted on-site?

[Tom Spence]

Yes. OnDemand is the hosted version of JIRA.

Script Runner has similar JQL functions too, but none of these are available in OnDemand

Hey, Matt! This one is for OnDemand: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/jql-pro

It appears that the JQL Tricks Plugin cannot be used for On Demand Jira instances. Is there any solution for us that have On Demand Jira?

Thanks!

Hi Doug, here is an OnDemand solution using JIRA API and viewing linked issues: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/221439/creating-reports-based-on-number-of-issue-links
