Dozens of new functions and keywords

Get access to a wide variety of functions that extend your search capabilities, beyond what's natively available in Jira, letting you find what you want - and only what you want - faster.

JQL functions:

Smarter Jira searches require smarter tools: get additional JQL Functions to search on enhanced criteria. Find subtasks or children, issues in epics or sprints and more. Search across projects and with advanced date filters.
  • dateCompare()
  • parentsOf()
  • childrenOf()
  • subtasksOf()
  • issuesInEpics()
  • inSprint()
  • issueFieldMatch()
  • and many more!

JQL keywords:

Keep stakeholders and collaborators on top of the changing nature of your Jira issues, searching against dynamic information such as a number of subtasks, links or attachments, or even attachment types and last comment dates.
  • numberOfSubtasks
  • numberOfAttachments
  • numberOfLinks
  • numberOfComments
  • lastCommentedDate
  • commentedBy
  • attachmentType
  • and many more!

Project Managers: find issues that took longer to complete than estimated

Find out which issues took longer to complete than their estimated completion date, which is stored as a date in a custom field. The dateCompare() Enhanced JQL Function makes it possible to compare dates stored in an issue, even if they are stored in custom fields. You can even add date offsets.
dateCompare("project = Search", "resolutionDate > estComplDate")
(where estComplDate is a custom field)

Scrum Masters: find epics with stories that are currently being worked on

View all of the epics with stories that your team is currently working on, i.e. epics that have stories that were started but haven't been finished. The epicsOf() Enhanced JQL Function returns the epics linked to the result of a subquery of your choice.
epicsOf(issuetype ="Story" AND status in ("In Progress", "In Review"))

QA Analysts: find issues in your project that duplicate other work

See how a bug and all of its direct and indirect relatives affect your product. The linkedIssuesRecursive() Enhanced JQL Function returns the entire issue chain in a single search.
