Summary

In Jira, you can have issue type schemes to share issue types across multiple projects, have the benefit of sharing configurations and have a consistent instance across the board, making it easier to maintain and keep the projects standardized. 

In some cases, administrators might be interested to identify which issue types are having the most issues created, and how many issues are within a set of projects. Jira doesn't provide that information natively, so it's necessary to query the database directly for that.

Environment

  • Jira 8 or higher;

  • The queries presented on this KB are for aPostgresdatabase and you may need to adjust them to your RDBMS.

Solution

Number of issues per issue type per project for a specific issue type scheme

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 SELECT p.pname as "Project Name" ,fcs.configname AS "Issue Type Scheme" ,it.pname as "Issue Type" ,COUNT(i.id) as "Issue Count" FROM jiraissue i INNER JOIN project p ON i.project = p.id INNER JOIN issuetype it ON it.id = i.issuetype INNER join configurationcontext cc on p.id = cc.project INNER JOIN fieldconfigscheme fcs ON cc.fieldconfigscheme = fcs.ID WHERE 1=1 AND fcs.configname = 'KANBAN: Kanban Issue Type Scheme' GROUP BY p.id, it.id, fcs.configname ORDER BY p.pname;

This is an example output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Project Name | Issue Type Scheme | Issue Type | Issue Count -------------+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------+-------------------------------- SDE | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Sub-task | 5709 SDE | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Epic | 2282 SDE | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Story | 2413 SDE | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Bug | 2387 SDE | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Task | 2425 TEST | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Sub-task | 5461 TEST | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Epic | 9999 TEST | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Story | 4443 TEST | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Bug | 2223 TEST | KANBAN: Issue Type Scheme | Task | 2211
