Additional information

Parameters used in this function

ParameterInput (data type)Description
subquery

TEXT

A JQL query to select the issues that should be further filtered by the logical expression.

Pro tip: Write the JQL query in single quotes instead of double quotes. Otherwise everytime a double-quotation is used in the subquery, they must be jumped with a slash.

logicalExpression

TEXT

A logical expression that returns a boolean value.

Pro tip: Write the parser expression in single quotes instead of double quotes. Otherwise everytime a double-quotation is used in the expression, they must be jumped with a slash.

Output

This function returns a  ISSUE LIST


The result is not what you expected? The number of returned issues feels too low?

By default, the maximum number of issues that will be returned by the JQL subquery, and thus can be processed by the logical expression is 1000.

To ensure the performance of your entire Jira instance, we limit the execution of the JQL function in terms of issue count and execution time. Please refer to your admin if you need to change the configuration.
