Suggestion
It would be extremely helpful if we were able to create filters for use with dashboards, etc. where a project type or category matched certain criteria.
This would allow us to create a core, servicedesk, or software specific dashboard which would amalgamate all issues between different projects together based on this criteria.
Workaround
Option 1 - using project categories
Jira natively supports the labeling of projects through the use of project categories:
Once you have added the category of your choice to your projects, for example "JSM" category, you can use that on JQL:
category = "JSM"
Option 2 - Plugin alternatives
Some plugins may provide extra JQL functionality to search for it. If you already have ScriptRunner it's possible to use the following:
To search by Project Type, you may use ScriptRunner Custom JQL function projectsOfType:
project in projectsOfType("service_desk") // or "business", "software"See the docs for details: https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/jql-functions/included-jql-functions/projects
Or JQL Booster Pack:

This app comes with categoryMatches() / projectsOfType() functions

[JRASERVER-45847] Add 'Project Type', ' Project Category' to JQL fields
Search by Project Category was implemented a long time ago - https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver0822/advanced-searching-fields-reference-1142432457.html#Advancedsearchingfieldsreference-CategoryCategory
You can do it like this:
category = "My category"
It was available in Jira Server 8.22.
To search by Project Type, you may use ScriptRunner Custom JQL function projectsOfType:
project in projectsOfType("service_desk") // or "business", "software"
See the docs for details: https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4js/latest/features/jql-functions/included-jql-functions/projects
For those looking to filter by project category and project type, after searching for a while I manage to achieve this using JQL Booster Pack plugin.
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1218367/jql-booster-pack
This app comes with categoryMatches() / projectsOfType() functions and they works like a charm.
I am jaw dropped that this feature isn't already here. This feels like an obvious gap.
@Marko Have you tried the app called JQL Booster Pack throught Atlassian Marketplace??
It includes the following JQL functions:
- ... and many more.
Kind Regards
@ Marko Isola
We were using "Metadata for Jira" on our Server instance. This was a great tool to add properties on project level and using them in JQL.
This app is for Data Center available too.
It's a real shame not having anything similar in the cloud anymore.
Filters with hard-coded project names is not a way to go.
Needed, thank you!
