Updating the issue selectionTo update the starting set of issues displayed in the diagram, type the selection query in 'Issue selection' field in the parameters and hit enter. The selection query must be written using JQL syntax. The set of issues selected constitute the starting point to draw the graph. The diagram will actually show these issues plus their connected issues (outside the selection). Which connected issues will be added is determined by the Link direction selection. Link directionThe Link direction parameter indicates which connected issues will be added to the starting selection. This allows you to discover, dependencies that you might miss otherwise. Let's see an example: Joey types query 'Project = ABC' in issue selection field and hits enter. Direction selected is 'Both parents and children'. And let's say one of the issue of project ABC is blocked by an issue of project DEF and that another issue of project ABC blocks an issue of project GHI. The result will be a diagram showing all issues of project ABC (and their connexions) plus the blocking issue of DEF (and its connected issues) and the blocked issue of GHI (and its connected issues). You change the Link direction by selecting the radio button corresponding to one of three values: Both parents and children | Add all nodes connected to the starting set of issues | Children only | Add all children nodes of the starting set of issues | Parents only | Add all ancestor nodes of the starting set of issues |
JQL queriesThe starting set of issues used for the diagram is selected using a JQL query. JQL is a simple yet powerful query syntax defined by JIRA for selecting issues. For all details on JQL, please refer to JIRA's documentation on Advanced searching. The following table shows examples of frequently used JQL queries and their meaning: JQL | Meaning |
---|
Project = ABC | All issues of project ABC | Project in (ABC, DEF) | All issues of projects ABC and DEF | Project = ABC and sprint = 'Sprint 9' | All issues of Sprint 9 of project ABC | Project = ABC and fixversion = '3.1' | All issues of version 3.1 of project ABC | Project = ABC and status != done | All issues of project ABC that are not done | Project = ABC and assignee != jsmith | All issues of project ABC that are not assigned to user jsmith | Project = ABC and duedate < now() | All overdue issues of project ABC |
