JIRA: Searching for all issues with a given link type

Is there a way to query for all issues with a particular link type?

For example, let there be a dependency link where an issue can "depends on" another issue. Is there a query to find all issues that depend on some other issue (aka. all issues with the "depends on" link)?

I know there is the linkedIssues (key, linkType) function that returns the key of all issues that have the linkType with the issue with key. I want to find all issues with a linkType with any issue.

Thanks!

In 2024, you can simply use issueLinkType. Works on Jira Cloud. No need for add-ons or plugins.

For example issueLinkType=Duplicate will give you all issues with that type of link. Or you can be more specific and use issueLinkType="is duplicated by" to indicate direction.

Can match the link Name, or the inward/outward descriptions, as found on the IssueLinking configuration page: /secure/admin/ViewLinkTypes!default.jspa

You can use Script Runner plugin - Edit: It unfortunately is no longer free. The last version before 4.0 still is, though. Details here https://www.adaptavist.com/doco/display/SFJ/Downgrade+ScriptRunner

It sports a ton of incredibly useful functions, one of these is hasLinks()

Usage example:

issueFunction in hasLinks("blocks") OR issueFunction in hasLinks("is blocked by")

If you need a JIRA On-Demand solution - you might find this paid Add-On useful

It exposes MongoDB syntax and some conditions builder UI, so you should be able to search for the issues:

  • linkedIssuesHaveStatus([status])
  • subtasksHaveStatus([status])
  • linkType([linkType])
  • workBetween([started|created|updated], [from], [to])

You can hack it with Craftware JQL's linkedIssuesFromFilter, where the filter would be "all issues"

The included function mentioned by Alexander is ideal for its purpose but if you want something more advanced check out the commercial JQL Tricks plugin: https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JQLT/Issue+Link+Functions
