"Blockers" Issue links

[Mary Coakley]

How can I query out issues that have blockers and also potentially the issues that are linked as a blocker?

thank you

Hi

You cannot do it with JIRA vanilla, you are limited to only query issue linked to a specific issue using linkedIssues().

But you can do it with 3rd party app such as Scriptrunner.

I'm not familliar with JQL Trciks but this app may also do what you want.

But this is all JQL-I'm looking for SQL.

This SQL should works or close to

select CONCAT(projectsource.pkey,'-',source.issuenum) as IssueSource, issuelinktype.OUTWARD ,CONCAT(projectdestination.pkey,'-',destination.issuenum) as IssueDestination from issuelink
left join issuelinktype on issuelink.id = issuelinktype.id
left join jiraissue destination on issuelink.destination = destination.id
left join jiraissue source on issuelink.source = source.id
left join project projectdestination on projectdestination.id = destination.project
left join project projectsource on projectsource.id = source.project
where linkname = 'Blocks'
