JQL Jira Risk Search

JQL Jira Risk Search

All risk assessment data are available in both read-only Jira risk custom fields and issue entity property.

  1. JQL risk issue custom fields

  2. JQL risk issue entity property

 

1. JQL risk issue custom fields

The solution creates Jira issue risk custom fields at installation. Risk assessment are then written to those custom fields and are JQL searchable. Please see below some examples and find more information on all the risk custom fields (here)
