I am looking to show changes that cause incidents by using the linked issue caused by

I am looking to build filters/dashboard that shows me changes that caused incidents. Is there any way to report on linked issues and if so specifically the linked issue relationship which is this case "is caused by"

Hi @Elaine McMillan 

Out of the box Jira is fairly limited when it comes to searching linked issues. Basically lets you search for issues linked to a certain issue.  See below which is taken from https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/advanced-searching-functions-reference-939938746.html  Do believe you need a third party app to achieve this.

linkedIssues()

Perform searches based on issues that are linked to a specified issue. You can optionally restrict the search to links of a particular type. Note that LinkType is case-sensitive.

Syntax	linkedIssues(issueKey) linkedIssues(issueKey,linkType)
Supported fields	Issue
Supported operators	IN , NOT IN
Unsupported operators	= , != , ~ , !~ , > , >= , < , <= IS , IS NOT , WAS , WAS IN , WAS NOT , WAS NOT IN , CHANGED
Examples	Find issues that are linked to a particular issue: issue in linkedIssues(ABC-123) Find issues that are linked to a particular issue via a particular type of link: issue in linkedIssues(ABC-123,"is duplicated by")

any suggestion on 3rd app?

@Elaine McMillan  ScriptRunner could be one. Here are their top 10 JQL functions -> https://www.adaptavist.com/blog/top-10-most-commonly-used-jira-query-language-functions

Hi @Elaine McMillan,

With standard JQL and the linkedIssues function, you can only find the linked tickets if you know the exact issue keys.

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow it, but you can find the results quickly using our professional indexing service JQL Search Extensions

After you install the app, you can simply search:

issue in linkedIssuesOfQuery("project=ACME", "is cause by")

Check out the documentation to see more examples.

I hope this helps!
