Use case

This calculated field returns the number of all issues linked to the current issue as blockers. Additionally only those issue will be taken into account which are still unresolved.

Configuration

Providing a description will help you to identify what the custom field does but this step is optional.

Parser expression

Add the following expression:

count(filterByResolution(linkedIssues("is blocked by"), ""))

To achieve this, the following functions are used:

Add the field to the relevant view screens.

Remember: All calculated fields are read-only and cannot be manually updated on a create or edit screen.

Check the results

Once configured and added to an issue screen, the result will look like this:

Jira Workflow Toolbox (Server / DC) 3.x > Number of unresolved blocking issues > NumberOfUnresolvedBlockIssues1.png

Jira Workflow Toolbox (Server / DC) 3.x > Number of unresolved blocking issues > NumberOfUnresolvedBlockIssues2.png
