Is there any way to list down JIRA items with multiple components fields. The purpose is to identify JIRA items with multiple tags in components field.

Hello @Suman, Shekhar 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

There is not a field that you can use in JQL specifically to find issues where the number of values in the Components field is greater than 1.

If you are willing to consider a third party app, the JQL Tricks app has a function that enables you to search based on the number of component values.

If you are not willing to consider a third party app, then you would need to construct a method to keep track of the number of Component values in a custom field in each issue. That could potentially be done with an Automation Rule.

Hi @Suman, Shekhar

welcome to the community!

Just to add to Trudy's great answer: If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace and/or don't want this to eat into your Automation budget, this would also 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. It also comes with a number of so-called smart columns that aren’t natively available, including the number of components.

This is how it looks in action:

As you can see above, you can easily sort and filter by the number of components, and also use it across JXL's advanced features, such as support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

This all just works - there's no scripting or automation whatsoever required.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
