Linked Issue Count


The Linked Issue Count displays the specified field/custom field of linked issues. When clicked, it navigates to those issues in the issue navigator.  And it is searchable: e.g. you can find issues which have more than 3 linked issues with 'causes' issue link type.

  • Click on the Parent/Linked/Epic Issue tab on the left-hand side of the dialogue.

    • Create a Name for the field.
    • Select Issue Link Type and Direction.

  • You can define as many Linked Issue Count as you want.


When there is more than one linked issue within the chosen link type, the Linked Issue Count will bring just one of them.
