How to filter issues that are NOT blocked?

[unsupported_operation]

I can filter issues that are unassigned and/or not "Done" easily enough, but I'd like to also be able to filter issues that are not blocked.

By "not blocked" I mean not having any 'blocked' linked issue whose status is not "Done". I have looked at the documentation for JQL/advanced filtering but can't seem to get it to do what I want.

Example:

Ticket JIRA-1 is "Done"

Ticket JIRA-2 is "TODO"

Ticket JIRA-3 is "TODO" and is blocked by JIRA-1 and JIRA-2

The filter I want to create should return nothing until JIRA-2 is marked as "Done".

Hi Tom,

with Jira out of the box, you can't query these issues. 

If you have the scriptrunner app, you can do something similar to what is described here:

The JQL-Tricks app could also help you:

Thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately neither of those apps are installed and the project/Jira I want to filter on is administered by another company.

Hi Thomas,

I am looking for the same filter. Shouldnt it be basic functionality of JIRA, to be able to search for issues you can work on, or vice versa, you dont want to see issues you cant work on because they are blocked.

exactly!! any task management system should be able to display ACTIONABLE tasks vs. NON-Actionable.
