Need to find issues related to your OKRs for bulk updates or analysis? This guide shows you how to use JQL (Jira Query Language) to search for issues connected to either a specific Key Result or all KRs within an Objective.

  1. Navigate to the Jira advanced issue search by selecting the Filters option from the top menu and choosing View all issues.
