Issue Summary

JQL searches that include the issueLinkType field may not work depending on the amount of issues and links that exist.

Environment

Cloud

• This behavior does not change between the new and old issue view

Steps to Reproduce

Although this problem does not occur always, it may happen in instances with a considerably high amount of issues (i.e. 300k+ issues).

1. To replicate, run a simple search containing the issueLinkType field
   • Example: issueLinkType is not EMPTY

Expected Results

Search returns issues that match search criteria

Actual Results

An error saying "An unknown error occurred while trying to perform a search."

A failed request with a response code of "JQL too complex" may be returned in the Browser's console

Workaround

Limiting the search criteria may be a valid workaround.

• Example: project = <Project A> and issueLinkType is not EMPTY

In case that search does not work, it is possible to try a different approach:

• Create a filter filter like: issueLinkType is EMPTY;
• Perform the search like the following: project = <project> AND filter != "filter"
