Searching for Issues Outside Current Structure

If there are matching issues that do not belong to the structure, an additional More Issues button is displayed on the search panel, telling exactly how many matching issues are there in JIRA that are not in the structure.

Structure Plugin for JIRA - Version 2.2 > Searching Outside Structure > more_issues_button.png

You can turn More Issues mode on or off by clicking this button. When it is turned on, the extra issues are displayed in the JIRA Search Results secondary panel.

The search is run through all projects for which the Structure plugin is enabled (see Selecting Structure-Enabled Projects).

You can turn More Issues mode on and off with keyboard shortcut Alt+m.

If the search results is large, only the first 1,000 issues are displayed in the Search Results Panel. If you add those issues to the structure, the next 1,000 issues are pulled. Use ORDER BY JQL phrase to sort the issues in the result to have the most important issues come first.

Adding Issues to Structure

When you have issues found outside Structure with the More Issues mode on, you can add them from the Search Results secondary panel to the structure.

There are several options:

Using Drag-And-Drop, move issues from the Search Results Panel to a specific location in the structure.
Select several issues or all of them using check boxes and use drag-and-drop to move all the selected issues to the structure.
Select an issue in the structure and click Add All button to place all issues from the Search Results Panel after the selected issue.
Select an issue in the structure, then select several issues in the Search Results Panel and click Add N Selected button to place the selected issues from the Search Results Panel after the selected issue.
While still having input focus (input caret) in the search criteria field, hit Ctrl+Enter to add all (or only selected) issues from the Search Results Panel after the currently selected issue in the structure. (Similar to Add All button.)
Or hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter to add all (or only selected) issues from the Search Results Panel under the currently selected issue in the structure - the selected issue becomes the parent of the newly added issues.
Use Cut/Paste actions and Issue Clipboard.

In Pinned Issue Mode, issues can be added only as sub-issues of the pinned issue. The result of using Ctrl+Enter or other means of adding issues to structure may be automatically adjusted to place the new issues as sub-issues of the pinned issue.
