How to find linked issues on more than 1 level

Daria A October 18, 2021

Hello,

I need to find all issues with certain link type, but i can't find in one query more than one level of link.

For example there is issue Product-1278, it has 3 issues with link "is child for", but all of these three issues has few issues with the same link type. So i need to include that issues too.

I tried JQL:

issue = PRODUCT-1278 OR issuefunction in hasLinkType("Child") and issue in linkedIssues(PRODUCT-1278) OR issueFunction in hasLinkType("Child") AND issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("issuefunction in linkedissuesof("issue in linkedIssues(PRODUCT-1278)", "is child for")", "is child for")

but got 

Error in the JQL Query: Expecting ')' or ',' but got 'issue'. (line 1, character 214)
Is it possible to find all these issues?
upd: i got to the point when error gone. Don't know why but Jira shows me the results of JQL when i change symbol " to ' in a part of query.
So now i use that:
issue = PRODUCT-1278 OR issuefunction in hasLinkType("Child") and issue in linkedIssues(PRODUCT-1278) OR issueFunction in hasLinkType("Child") AND issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("issuefunction in linkedissuesof('issue in linkedIssues(PRODUCT-1278)', 'is child for')", "is child for")
but there are only four issues founded. It is the main PRODUCT-1278 and three linked issues with child link type. Looks like part of JQL was ignored.

upd 2: found a stupid mistake, i need to chage type of link in JQL like that
issue = PRODUCT-1278 OR issuefunction in hasLinkType("Child") and issue in linkedIssues(PRODUCT-1278) OR issueFunction in hasLinkType("Child") AND issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("issuefunction in linkedissuesof('issue in linkedIssues(PRODUCT-1278)', 'is parent of')", "is child for")
but the result of search is +1 issue that really has link type "is child for" with one of linked issues "from 1st level". But there are lot of the same issues, not only one.

Hi @Daria A

You may try some apps from the marketplace. For example, Links Hierarchy https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1211022/links-hierarchy-full-dependency-viewer This app adds JQL functions that return linked issues from 1 to 5 depth levels.
