JQL Linked Issues of type "blocks"

[Dennis S_]

Hi everybody,

I´ve tried the following JQL query and it worked fine:

project = xy and issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("resolution = unresolved", "is blocked by")

Thereupon I´ve tried the following query:

project = xy and issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("resolution = unresolved", "blocks")

Unfortunately this query did not work. The following error message is displayed:

"More than one link type with description: blocks, this is not currently supported"

Any idea why this happens? Is there any possibility to avoid the problem?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards,

Dennis

Links have a name, an outward description, and an inward description. linkedIssuesOf() uses the descriptions. Names must be unique, but outward and inward descriptions don't have to be unique. You've got 2 or more descriptions of "blocks". You may wish to review your links at https://<JIRASERVER>/secure/admin/ViewLinkTypes!default.jspa and tweak the wording of one or more descriptions.
