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.
To create a Linked Issue Count
- Navigate to Jira Admin > Add-ons > Enhancer Plugin Menu > Custom Field Configuration and go to the Parent / Linked issue fields tab.
- Click on the Parent/Linked Issue Custom Fields button, and select Linked Issue Count.
- Fill in the dialog box:
- Create a Name for the field.
- Select the link type.
- Select the field/custom field.
- Click on the Add Custom Field button.
- You can define as many Linked Issue Counts 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.
