How to obtain all t he issues by using a particular issuetype name

[fcordero]

Guys,

I need help preparing a GET jql query . If you see here, I can obtain the issues, in this case I am filtering by the summary field. However I'd like to do something like this:

var jql=issuetype = \"AXY\" ...... If you see below I get issuetype -> name. I would like to the name to find ALL the issues under that issue type name. How should I write my jql  GET query?

Appreciate your help

Hi @fcordero Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You can try to obtain the issues from a issue type from the rest API below.

Pardon my ignorance but what exactly "story" is? I thought I could use the name of the issueType and simply query with the API to retrieve all the issuetype with same name. Is this not correct?

I just mentioned Story as an example. The above query will get all the issues from that particular issue type (E.g. Story). Are you trying to find the issue types using matching patterns ?

Thanks for your reply , I really appreciate it.  Let me explain what I am trying to achieve. My jql looks like this: 

jql=summary  ~ Any_Summary. When I run this call, I get a number of issues. Which is great. Instead I'd like to use the issuetype of the issue in order to retrieve the ones with same name. Does that makes sense?  I think you are correct, I am trying to use matching patterns I just don't really know how to. Thanks in advance!
