How to include the Link type in the columns and export?

[nualmeida]

Hello, 

A US has links of several types: blocked by, has to be done before....

How can i see this in a column in a filter? Currently they appear but without identification of the type. Also, can this also appear in the export?

Thank you.

Jira Cloud, by default, does not directly support showing the link type (e.g., "blocked by," "has to be done before") as a separate column

Use a script or automation rule to populate this field based on the issue links. Once set up, this custom field can be included as a column in your filters and exported.

Hi @nualmeida

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, I think you may like 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 issue's issue links - much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. For issue link columns, you can configure exactly how your issue links should be displayed: With, or without the link type. You can also configure your issue link columns to only show the issue links that match one or more issue link types.

This is how it looks in action:

You can also export your sheet to CSV or XLSX in just one click. This all just works - there's no scripting or automation whatsoever required.

(I should add that JXL can do much more than that: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.)

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @nualmeida,

please add a Issue links column to your sheet, and then configure the column's cell content as described here.

In the cell content configuration, you can then pick the issue link types/descriptions that you want to see in this column:
