Included JQL Functions

ScriptRunner provides a large number of out-of-the-box JQL functions. Unlike most of ScriptRunner features, these included functions are available to all users on an instance, not just administrators.

Tip:Fields, operators, and functions

Fields are required to form a search clause and are typically followed by an operator and then a function or a value. Most ScriptRunner JQL functions are preceded by the issueFunction field, however, some ScriptRunner JQL functions are preceded by other fields (as shown in the table below). In a clause that includes a ScriptRunner JQL function the operator must always be in or not in (for example issueFunctioninhasLinks("Blocks")).
