How do you search for issues linked to another filter

[Matthew Oldenkamp]

I've got a filter that I want to find the linked issues for.

For Example
Filter A gives the results

• JIRAKey-005
• JIRAKey-006
• JIRAKey-007

And I want to create a "Filter B" that finds the issues that are linked to the issues in "Filter A".

Is this possible?

Hello @Matthew Oldenkamp 

Jira Cloud does not natively support using a filter as the parameter for the linkedIssues function. You will need to use a third party application that extends JQL functionality.

Do you already have any such applications installed? If not, are you open to doing so?

Hi @Trudy Claspill

We don't have any applications installed that extend JQL functionality. We might be open to it depending on our use case.

Which would you recommend to solve the issue that I have?

[Trudy Claspill]

There are several available from the Atlassian Marketplace. Here is a search of the marketplace to help you get started.

As you can see there are several options.

The one that I have used is Adaptavist Scriptrunner, and I thought it was a good app. If offers more than just the extension of JQL functionality though so may be more than you need.
