How to implement the issueFunction in ChildrenOf("") feature of Jira Cloud in Jira DC?

vincenzo.spatafora

Dear ALL,

there is a very powerful function called 'issueFunction in ChildrenOf("")' to which you can even pass as input the name of a saved filter.

I understand this is only available in Jira Cloud and my question is:

is there a way to implement its functionality on the Jira Data Center (I use version 9.12.5).

Thanks in advance,

Vincenzo.

I don't think that there is a way to do this out of the box. You can do "issue in childIssuesOf()", but that only takes a single issue key as a parameter, not a saved filter (or any other JQL).

Scriptrunner does have the "issuefunction in" functionality that has a number of functions, including issuesInEpics(), which allows you to put in a sub-query that will return any issues whose parent Epics meet a particular criteria, or portfolioChildrenOf(), which allows the same thng, but at the layer(s) above epics.

Thanks @Matt Parks , interesting.

Can you pass a saved filter (or any another JQL) to portfolioChildrenOf()?

Is portfolioChildrenOf() outputting all the children tickets of a given issue type ticket?

Kind Regards,

portfolioChildrenOf() takes a JQL query, so whatever you want. However, that JQL query will need to return issues above the Epic level in your hierarchy. Then the issuefunction returns any children down to the Epic level (it doesn't return Stories, etc)

issuefunction in portfolioChildrenOf("issuetype = Theme")

Assuming that the Theme issuetype is a parent of the Initiative issuetype, which is a parent of the Epic issuetype, the above query will return all Initiatives that have a Theme and all of the Epics under those Initiatives. It will not return the Stories under those Epics, so you would have to get creative to bring in those Stories

issuefunction in portfolioChildrenOf("issuetype = Theme") OR issuefunction in issuesInEpics("issuefunction in portfolioChildrenOf('issuetype = Theme')")

But, instead of "issuetype = Theme", you could pass in whatever JQL you wanted, including a saved filter. As long as the issues returned by that saved filter are above the Epic level in your hierarchy, it will work.

Thanks @Matt Parks, appreciated.

In my hierarchy, the Epics is actually the highest level.

So, I'm afraid I got to find another way to get the list of the children associated to the issues given by my saved filter.

Kind Regards,

Vincenzo.
