    Description

      Issue Summary

      From the documentation page https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/advanced-searching-fields-reference-939938743.html#Advancedsearching-fieldsreference-issuelinktypeIssuelinktype

      The first problem is the example phrase:

      Find issues with a link type of "blocks":
      issueLinkType = blocks

      In my testing, this JQL function in Jira Server is not actually returning the linktype names (such as "Cloners"), but rather the linktype descriptions (clones, "is cloned by" for examples)

      Next problem is the phrase

      Find issues with an issue type of "duplicates" or "is duplicated by":

      It does not find by issue type, it only works by linktype description.
