      Issue Summary

      When running a JQL search using the issueLinkType parameter, you can specify the link type name to filter issues which contain those links.

      For ex: project = SCK and issueLinkType in ("is blocked by")

      While this previously only returned only those results that matched work items which had the inward link with that description, it now returns work items matching both the inward and outward description. That is, work items containing links "blocks" as well as "is blocked by".

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Link a few work items to other using any existing Links
      2. Start a JQL search and use issueLinkType parameter to query works items with a specific link type name ( Eg: "is blocked by", "is connected to" )

      Expected Results

      Only work items which have matching inward or outward description would be returned.

      Actual Results

      The search returns work items that match both the inward and outward descriptions

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
