With this extension you can query for work items which have a backlinked work item with a special type and/or link role. Native Polarion backlinked query syntax is only able to search for backlinked work items within ONE work item id./p>
For example, with this extension you can query for all work items from type “specifications” which are linked with a work item from type “task” with the link role “relates_to”.
Furthermore it is possible to search for work items which have NO backlinked work item with a special type or link role. For example you can query for all test cases which have no backlinked defect. Or you can search for defects which have a backlinked task work item and are therefore tracked to get resolved.
Just use following syntax in Polarion query input field:
type:specification AND backlinkedWorkItemsCustom:childtype=task#role=*
to search for specifications which have a backlinked task work item independent of the link role.
type:specification AND backlinkedWorkItemsCustom:childtype=task#role=*
to search for specifications which have a backlinked task work item independent of the link role.
You can also use the wildcard * for “childtype”:
type:requirement AND backlinkedWorkItemsCustom:childtype=*#role=cr_spec
to search for requirements which have a backlinked work item with the link role “cr_spec”.
type:requirement AND backlinkedWorkItemsCustom:childtype=*#role=cr_spec
to search for requirements which have a backlinked work item with the link role “cr_spec”.
Otherwise you can also search for work items which have NOT a backlinked work item:
type:specification AND project.id:swpf_02 AND backlinkedNotWorkItemsCustom:childtype=task#role=relates_to
to search for specifications which have no backlinked task work item with the link role “relates_to” within the project “swpf_02.
type:specification AND project.id:swpf_02 AND backlinkedNotWorkItemsCustom:childtype=task#role=relates_to
to search for specifications which have no backlinked task work item with the link role “relates_to” within the project “swpf_02.
