FAQ Search Linked Issues For JIRA

Issues in Epic are stored in JIRA as special link type called: "Epic-Story Link"

To find all issues linked to epics from filter or query:

• issue in linkedIssuesFromFilter("filter name", "Epic-Story Link")
• issue in linkedIssuesFromQuery("jql query", "Epic-Story Link")

Second parameter holds relation name. But be warned - there is difference between relation name expected in this parameter and each direction descriptions of relation.

Every relation in JIRA has the name and descriptions of its 2 directions. If you want to have selected only one specific direction of given relation you can use the third parameter of the function which can have 2 values inward/outward. Search Linked Issues for JIRA don't use direction descriptions, only relation name.

Please as your administrator to get real relation name. Relation names could be found in JIRA administration - see jira documentation.

Sample relation configuration can be:

• relation X name - 'Cloners'
• inward direction description of relation X * - 'Clones'
• outward direction description of relation X * - 'Is cloned by'

So you could query like this:

• issue in linkedIssuesFromFilter("filter name", "Cloners", "inward")
• issue in linkedIssuesFromFilter("filter name", "Cloners", "outward")
  

Probably there is a problem with UPM and Plugin License Storage plugin bundled with your JIRA. You can check this in logs looking for PluginLicenseStoragePluginUnresolvedException. Any users using JIRA 5.0.1+ could run into this problem because these versions of JIRA come bundled with UPM 2. Update the UPM in JIRA and re-install add-on fix this problem.
