Use Cases
Let's explore some of the use cases of this Matrix-specific JQL function.
Advanced Searching
YouĀ can use the issueMatrix
function in advancedĀ Jira search operations with JQL. For more information, check the Advanced searching Atlassian document.
Ā
Bulk Operations
A great way to leverage the issueMatrix
benefits is to use it with Jira Issue Navigator's Bulk Change (Bulk Operations) feature. With Bulk Operations, you can Edit/Move/Transition/Delete/Watch/Stop Watching multiple issues simultaneously in your Jira (for more information on Bulk Operations read Modifying Multiple (Bulk)Ā Issues Atlassian document).
Go to the Issue Navigator in your Jira and switch to Advanced search (check the Advanced searching Atlassian document). For example, you can filter all the open Documentation Tasks/Development Tasks/QA Tasks from a story (if you have such a Matrix in the story) in Jira advanced searching and then apply Bulk Change to all the tasks simultaneously.Ā

ConfluenceāJira Integration
If you would like to show issues from Issue Matrix on a page in your Confluence site, you can use the Confluence Jira Issue/Filter Macro in combination with theĀ issueMatrix
JQL function. First, make sure that your Confluence site is connected to your Jira server (for more information on the ConfluenceāJira integration, read theĀ Jira Issue Macro Atlassian document).
When you use the issueMatrix
function in the Jira Issues Macro, all issues from the given Issue Matrix table for the specific issue, are visible in your Confluence page.
Insert a Jira Issue/Filter Macro in a Confluence page and then use the issueMatrix
function like the example on the screenshot.
