JIRA: Searching for all issues with a given link type
-

Question
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!
Solution
You can hack it with Craftware JQL's linkedIssuesFromFilter, where the filter would be "all issues"
OTHER TIPS
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")
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
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])
