jql search all from project A plus project B with issueLink to A

[Sean Batt]

Issues in project A can get resolved by work on an issue in project B. I would like to make a board with all issues in A with the issues in B that "relate to" an issue in A.

I'd like to be able to (project = A) or (project = B and issueLink ~ A-) but issuelink doesn't support ~

The docs almost suggest I could do (project = B and issueLink != A-1) as they say "with linked issues but not linked to a specific issue" but the test doesn't return issues with links at all.

Can anyone suggest a way to accomplish what I'm after?

Thanks.

Sean

Hey,

You can do it with JQL Search Exensions

For example:

linkedByIssueProject="Project A"

You can find more in the documentation

That commercial product seems like it should work, but so does ordinary JQL from the documentation. I'm not prepared to run a free trial to find out for sure, let alone pay for it.

Thank you for telling me about your product, though.

Hi @Sean Batt 
According to the accepted answer to this issue (https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/jira-query-issues-with-linked-issues/qaq-p/426769 ) and this doc ( https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracoreserver/advanced-searching-fields-reference-939937719.html#Advancedsearching-fieldsreference-issuelinktypeIssuelinktype ) , if you are using on Jira Server 8.0.0, you should be able to use :

(project = B and issueLinkType = "relate to")

Hope this helps!

Even if I use "relates to" (note the "s", future self) I can't limit the issues returned to those in project B that relates to an issue in project A.
Thanks for the links, but the documentation link was the first place I went to (still open on my screen) and the "accepted answer" link is described in more detail in the first document. (Thank you anyway, though).

I must be missing something because querying between projects can't be that much of a left-field requirement, can it?
