FAQPage Schema
How do I find recursive blockers and dependency chains in JIRA issues?▼

JIRA blocker analysis identifies direct blockers, recursive chains, and critical paths by traversing linked issues across projects. The tool uses the jira-as CLI to inspect issue relationships and map dependencies for actionable visibility.

Can I export JIRA issue dependencies to a Mermaid or DOT graph?▼

Yes, JIRA dependency graphs can be exported and visualized in Mermaid, DOT, PlantUML, and D2 formats. Exporting issue relationships provides a visual map of project dependencies and blockers for easier tracking.

What is the best way to bulk-link JIRA issues across different projects?▼

Bulk-linking JIRA issues across projects is done using the jira-as CLI to create relationships safely. You can link issues, view existing links, and remove links in bulk while enforcing safe usage through standard environment variables.

How do I clone a JIRA issue with its subtasks and related data?▼

Cloning a JIRA issue with related data is executed via the jira-as CLI clone command, which copies the issue and its subtasks. This preserves project-wide relationships and dependencies during duplication.

Do I need the jira-as CLI to manage JIRA issue linking and relationships?▼

Yes, the jira-as CLI is required to manage JIRA issue linking and relationships. It enforces safe usage by supporting commands for link creation, viewing, removal, cloning, and visualization using standard environment variables.

How do I list available link types and their directions in JIRA?▼

Listing JIRA link types and directions is performed using the jira-as relationships link-types command. This reveals available relationship categories and their inward or outward directions for accurate issue linking.
