JQL count of linked "bug" type issues

[Siddhant Jain]

Is there any way to get the count of linked issues which have issue type as bug ?

Hi @Siddhant Jain ,

what exactly do you want to do with count or rather how do you want this information captured/displayed? You can use automation to return a count of issues matching a certain GQL. And then you can use a variable to store the size return by that JQL and finally reference that variable within the context of some issue such as placing a comment in an issue or something similar.

here is some info on the Actions in Automation.

1. Issue Lookup - will execute a query to find issues matching Bug type
2. Create Variable - {{issueLookup.size}} will provide the number of issues that matched your query
3. use another action to 'use' the issue count returned in #2

Hi @Jack Brickey 

Can I display count on jira interface and then, export the data ?
