Can I query on types of "linked issues"?

[jeroen_wilmes]

I want to have an overview of all issues in a project that are linked to other issues.

E.g. I like to see all issues that are a parent of other issues.

I tried with JQL linkedissues = "parent".  and other variations as well but every time with same result " the issue key "parent" for field "linkedissue" is invalid.

Thanks for any help

Are you looking for linked issues or the sub-tasks of issues.

The issue link is a flat structure i.e. there is no parent just a relationship. This link is reciprocal so there will be a reference to the other issue on both sides

The issue link is not searchable only sortable but you can search for the presence of a link type which should get you all linked issues.

issueLinkType is not EMPTY

Yes, you can query on the issue link type, for example issueLinkType = parent. Have a look at the documentation for more information on how to use the issueLinkType.

Hi @jeroen_wilmes 

If you would be interested in a paid app, to visualize the hierarchy based on the issue links, we have created an add-on to track the issue links and issue progress at each level and for cross project links as well.

Pls try it out.

Agile Tools - Epic Tree, Links Tree and Time in Status 

Key features of Links Hierarchy:

• Hierarchy upto 10 levels deep
• Progress % on "remaining estimate" or "original estimates"
• Edit Issue summary, time estimates, story points and assignee on the tree with real time updates in the progress
• Rolled up percentage completion at all levels
• Ability to add/remove the columns on the report

Disclaimer: I work for RVS, the vendor for this app, and I am one of the developers in the team

I found similar to @Mikael Sandberg 's response if I wanted to look for a specific type of relationship it was best to go with issueLinkType in ("xxxxxx"), with x being the actual relationship you are searching for. 

I was then able to pull out all the examples of that type, and could refine further if needed by including my project name etc.
