Is lookup issues support Jira server

[Mkurama]

I just want to ask if I can use lookup issues in jira server? or any alternative?

Hi @Mkurama 

No, it is not available yet. You can vote for the request and follow it here:

Hi @Mkurama 

Yes, and...to what John notes:

Server/Data Center version does not have Lookup Issues, and the equivalent feature is the bulk-handling option for the scheduled trigger or for branches.  Please look here to learn more about that option.

Thank you @John Funk and @Bill Sheboy  for your responses.

Sorry @John Funk for that repeated question it happened by mistake.

[John Funk]

No worries :-)

A potential workaround might be to do a webrequest to your filter and get the total from the json and then do whatever you want with it e.g. send it to Slack.

Hi @bstinson 

That same summing is possible with the bulk-handing features without a need to call the REST API for an issue search.  Please see: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/bulk-handling-of-issues-993924653.html

Kind regards,

What do you mean by "lookup issues"?

Do you mean something like finding an issue when you're trying to create a link between two issues?  Or are you talking about searching for issues?

See @John Funk post.

That does not explain what "lookup issues" means.

It's a function inside of Automation for Jira. It returns a list of issues versus a single issue.
