How can we query values from another project's issues?

[Marci Boecking]

Hi all,

Wondering if this is possible: I want to query the status of issues in one project but perform that query in another, so that I don't have to click on each ticket to find out the status of the linked ticket.  The JQL might look something like:
linkedIssue.status = Done

That, obviously, doesn't work.  Does anyone know if & how this can be done?

Cheers!

I don't think Jira can do this natively.  But you could use a plugin to Jira, such as scriptrunner, in order to get some extended JQL functions like this.

Take a look at https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/jql-functions.html#_linkedissuesof

With this plugin you could use a JQL syntax such as

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("status=Done")

This would return the issues that are linked to other issues with that specific status.
