How to map Jira tickets with nested links

[Leena Sharma]

Hi everyone, 

How can we track mapping between JIRA tickets which are linked to each other but not directly? 

There is a Story 1 linked to Story 2 which is then linked to Story 3. 

all these stories have pre-defined prefixes in summary as [Dev], [TC] and [QA]. Example as below 

Story 1 - [Dev] Implement login 

Story 2 - [TC] Frame test cases for login 

Story 3 - [QA] Test login 

Expected : I want to have a list which show me Story 1 mapped to Story 3 

OR 

I want to filter out Story 1 for which there is no Story 3. 

Little bit complicated but this is what we had to apply for now. 

Help to resolve this issue will be really appreciated.

This is an interesting puzzle. All I can think of are queries focused on Story 2 for example: 

• issueLinkType in (blocks) and issueLinkType in ("is blocked by") and summary ~ "TC"    (Story 2 has a Story 1 link and Story 3 link)
• issueLinkType not in (blocks) and issueLinkType in ("is blocked by") and summary ~ "TC" .   (Story 2 has a Story 1 link but no Story 3 link)
• issueLinkType in (blocks) and issueLinkType not in ("is blocked by") and summary ~ "TC" .   (Story 2 has a Story 3 link but no Story 1 link)
