Can each output entry of one JQL query used as input of another JQL query?

[Tanuj Sinha]

Hello,

I am trying to create JQL that should itself use another JQL. From the output of the first, I want to check a specific field and then show data is it even possible?

For Example :

Xray Test Set contains multiple tests.

My first query is on test sets which fetches me multiple test sets and then I want to iterate over each test present inside each test set.

Please let me know what could be the solution to this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Tanuj

Hello Tanuj,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

You can reference other filter queries in a JQL query by using the parameter filter. Let me give you an example:

- You created a filter called "Epics" and saved it with the following query:

Issuetype = Epic

- Then, you decided that you would like to return in a JQL Query all the issues returned from "Epics" filter there are in the project "TST". You just need to perform the query below:

project = TST and filter = Epics

Let me know if this is the option you are looking for.

Hello Narasimha,

Are you adding two quotation marks with the apostrophe as you mentioned or you just added it to reference in the community message? 

"filter = 'filter name'"

You should search with the two quotation marks only in the filter name. Like this:

filter = "filter name"

Additionally, make sure you are not running the filter over the same filter since it will cause a cyclical reference. Explaining better:

Ensure that you are not running the filter query when editing the same filter referenced in the query, like in the screenshot below:

That been said, ensure you clicked on Search Issues option to perform your search, and not in the filter itself.

Let us know if it helps.
