This function returns an issue list containing all the ancestor issues of a given issue according to Advanced Roadmaps hierarchy, i.e., all related issues in levels above a given issue, or in other words: the parent issue, the grandparent issue, the great grandparent issue, etc. The output list is ordered in ascending levels, being the parent issue the first element of the list.

Advanced Roadmaps hierarchy includes:

  • Issues linked by Parent Link custom field.
  • Issues linked by Epic-Story link.
  • Sub-tasks in the lowest level of the hierarchy. Sub-tasks under issues in intermediate levels of the hierarchy are not considered to belong to Advanced Roadmaps hierarchy.

Example:

Syntax
issuesAbove() #Output: Issue list
Examples
Parser expressionDescription
issuesAbove()

Considering that current issue is JWT-13, this expression returns:

[JWT-12, JWT-2, JWT-3, JWT-1]

Output

This function returns an ISSUE LIST


Variant where you additionally define issues.

Duplicated issues are filtered from the output.

Syntax
issuesAbove(issueList) #Output: Issue list
Examples
Parser expressionDescription
issuesAbove(linkedIssues("is blocked by"))

Assuming that expression linkedIssues("is blocked by") returns [JWT-2, JWT-9], this example returns all the issues in the level just under issues JWT-2 and JWT-9:

[JWT-3, JWT-1, JWT-8]

To achieve this the following functions are used:
