  1. JQL functions are available to search for progress updates. JQL functions cannot be used in Basic mode. To use them, you must Switch to JQL.

Note that the JQL functions cannot be used in Basic mode. To use them you must Switch to JQL.

 

  1. progressUpdatesCount allows users to find all issues that have issues. For example, progressUpdatesCount > 0 will find all that have at least one update. progressUpdatesCount = 0 will find all that have no updates at all.

     

  2. progressUpdatesMaxDate can be used to find all issues that have the most recent update relative to a date. For example, progressUpdatesMaxDate < -7d finds all issues that have an update within the last 7 days. progressUpdatesMaxDate > startOfMonth() finds all that have an update since the start of the month.

     

  3. Both functions can be combined, as in progressUpdatesCount > 0 and progressUpdatesMaxDate < -7d

     

  4. And can be mixed with other JQL functions. For example, this query, progressUpdatesCount > 0 and progressUpdatesMaxDate < -7d and type = Initiative will find all updates to initiatives within the last 7 days. The date filter can be changed to find any issues that do not have an update - helpful when chasing PMs and Scrum Masters for updates.

     

These filters can also be used within automation rules to send emails to PMs and Scrum Masters to fill out updates.
