Hello everyone,

 

I'm trying to retrieve the type of issue tickets listed in the ‘implements’ links.

Let me explain:

- I want to retrieve the issues

- with ‘implements’ linked type

- and whose tickets listed in linkedtype are of type Epic.

 

I don't know if JQL is capable of finding this for me

 

thank you in advance

Hello @Franck Saint-Pe 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Native Jira JQL functionality is not capable of doing that. The JQL functions that relate to finding linked issues require that you specify a single issue from which you find linked issues. Refer to

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/jql-functions/#linkedIssues--

If you are open to third party apps, Adaptavist has an app called ScriptRunner Enhanced Search that extends JQL capabilities. With it you could use a sub-filter to specify the issue against which you want to find linked issues, and combine that criteria to further pare down the results. Refer to

https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4jc/latest/features/scriptrunner-enhanced-search/jql-functions#linkedissuesof

Let me know if you need more information on how to use that for your specific use case.

I've used that app often and like it a lot. There are other apps that provide similar functionality.

Hi @Franck Saint-Pe

welcome to the community!

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this should be easy to do using 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, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. Columns are highly configurable in JXL (e.g., for issue links, you can choose to show only the issue link type and issue type), and can be filtered using a range of techniques, including a powerful (full-)text search. With these, you should be able to model your search in just a couple of clicks, like so:

issue-link-type-and-issue-type.gif

Is this what you had in mind?

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: 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
