issuesFromJQL() | Decadis App Help Center

This function returns the issue list of issues returned by the specified JQL query. Visibility restrictions (permissions and issue security) might apply. By default this query will be run as the current user.

We suggest using this function for performance reasons when the number of issues to be retrieved or filtered is very high (e.g. all issues in a project or in status) instead of functions like:

Bash

issuesFromJQL(jqlQuery) #Output: Issue list

Examples

Parser expression	Description
Bash `issuesFromJQL("status in (Open, Done)")`	This example returns an issue list with all issues that are in status "Open" or "Done".
Bash `issuesFromJQL("'Story points' is not empty")`	This example returns an issue list with all issues that do have Story points.
