How to find Issues with Merged PR

[Fabian Ehrentraud]

I'd like to find all open issues that have a merged PR in order to find tickets that might have been forgotten to be resolved and therefore will probably ship to production untested.

JQL has the two terms `development[pullrequests].open` and `development[pullrequests].open`, but unfortunately no means to filter out `declined` PRs. So when I do `status not in (Closed, Resolved) AND development[pullrequests].all > 0 AND development[pullrequests].open = 0`, I will get both issues with `merged` and `declined` PRs. I'd like to only get the ones with `merged` PRs.

Is that possible somehow? If not, could this be added to JQL?

Hi @Fabian Ehrentraud 

For Jira Software Server 7.8+ you can find the full list of available development fields here - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/advanced-searching-fields-reference-939938743.html 

To find all the issues only with merged pull requests I recommend using the following filter:

development[pullrequests].merged > 0 AND development[pullrequests].open = 0 AND development[pullrequests].declined = 0

[Fabian Ehrentraud]

nice that `merged` now exists! but i'd not filter for `declined = 0`, because it could be that 2 PRs were created for a ticket, one declined and one merged, and these tickets should still show up.

@Anton Genkin How do you do this in Jira Cloud? When I try to use development[pullrequests].merged > 0 I get the following error.

For "development[pullrequests]" use "development[pullrequests].all" or "development[pullrequests].open"

[Anton Genkin]

@[deleted] The list of fields available in Jira Cloud is different from Jira Server. 

As of May 2019, Jira Cloud doesn't support development[pullrequests].merged field.

Here is full search reference for Jira Cloud - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwarecloud/advanced-searching-developer-reference-967312910.html

@Anton Genkin Do you know if the merged field is on the roadmap for Jira Cloud ?

[Joel Kleppinger]

@Anton it would be very nice to have development[pullrequests].declined and .merged in Jira Cloud.  Any ETA?

[FinAdmin]

WHY all of you is saying that this exists, it DOESN'T

Look:

[FinAdmin]

For anyone searching to find merge PRs only: 

development[pullrequests].all > 0 AND development[pullrequests].open = 0

it will include the merged and declined tho, there's no other way.

[Joel Kleppinger]

@FinAdmin That only works if PRs are never declined.  If there are multiple rounds of PRs that get declined and none ever gets merged, your query will return that result.

Above @Anton Genkin mentioned that Jira Server supports .merged but Jira Cloud does not.  I presume you ran your test on Jira Cloud.

It's been 1.5 years, @Anton Genkin can we get .declined and .merged in Jira Cloud soon?

[Alison Meng]

And it has been 6 more months. How about we get .merged in Jira Cloud now?😜

[Alix Mougel]

And it has been 3 more months. How about we get .merged in Jira Cloud now?

[Larkin Rogers]

development[pullrequests].open > 0

This works, but not merged or declined, still looking to know how to filter for these, in case anyone knows

[CKinKC]

Same, is anyone aware of a feature request for this.  It's very frustrating, thank you!

[Matt Leach]

9 months later. How about we get .merged in Jira Cloud now?

[Dejay Clayton]

Jira is a big, fat company.  They have the market share such that their product managers don't have to worry about keeping customers happy.  Thus, if it takes five years to implement something that should take five minutes, it takes five years!  And you'll sit there and like it!

[Will Sargent]

This combo JQL will find all tickets with merged pulls, assuming they also have no open PR's as well (combo merged and open, same issue)

development[pullrequests].all > 0 and development[pullrequests].open = 0

[Ruan Heyns]

I think @Anton Genkin might have left this god awful company, and still this has not been resolved for Jira Cloud

[Deleted user]

It is almost 5 years since the request. How about we get .merged in Jira Cloud now?

[YarnSawe]

Another 6 months gone, 2256 days since the ticket originally filed. How much longer do I need to wait for .merged in Jira Cloud?

[Bryan Hoang]

Getting `.merged` for Jira Cloud would be a lovely Christmas present!

Hello Everyone,
Just joined the community. 
To report on the E-2-E engineering process and Merge is part of that process, I am not sure why it's taking years for JIRA PMs to understand and consider this as the priority.

It's shows up on their documentation -

Hi @Fabian Ehrentraud,

It seems like this behaviour matches what is described on the following feature request (this is the Jira Server version):

- JQL Entity Property for Pull Request Status

If that's the case, feel free to comment on the feature request to share with the Jira team the use cases for this request.

Cheers,
Caterina - Atlassian

[Fabian Ehrentraud]

Thank you, that indeed looks like a feature request for what I try to do. Too bad that it is not possible yet.

[Caterina Curti]

Thanks Fabian for commenting on the feature request. Really appreciated!

[Ahmad Salah]

Having status property is a should have feature,
I guess atlassian removed it for a purpose
