I was trying to find some extension (or maybe built-in functionality) for Jira which would allow to assign a status to a user like it is possible in popular messengers, e.g. "on vacation" or "doing home-office today". It would be great to see a dashboard with statuses of all users displayed together.
The only thing which sounds close to what I'm searching for is
https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf54/confluence-user-s-guide/sharing-content/user-status-updates
but that one is for Confluence and we don't use Confluence in our workflow, we have Jira and Wiki so answers like "just use Confluence" won't work.
Is there such a thing, but for Jira?
I am sorry, but : There is no such thing for JIRA (atleast for now).
Just because Atlassian provides a possibility to connect JIRA with Confluence:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/integrating-jira-and-confluence-2825.html
As far as I know they have no intentions to bring Confluence type things in JIRA, but don't quote me on that.
Sorry I couldn't give a positive answer.

I am trying to figure out if a query that list all Jira Issues that Linked with a Confluence Page is possible.
I know there are way to work around it, such as using labels, just really curious if something similar linkedIssue available for linked Confluence document.

ScriptRunner plugin in Jira may do it
Is there a native JQL (not a plugin) that returns tickets that have linked issues listed as "is blocked by" (so I can see all my blocked tickets).
All I have found is linkedIssues() but that can require a specific issue ID to search for which is entirely unhelpful.
I am using Jira Cloud 7.4.
In the core JIRA JQL functionality the closest thing you have, as you've already found out, is linkedIssues() that requires a parent Issue reference.
What you need is Adaptavist ScriptRunner, they have a function called hasLinks(). There are also a handful of other add-ons that offer this functionality but like ScriptRunner, they all cost money.

The below query is also helpful (add it in the filter setup):
project = "Project ID" AND issuetype in (story, Spike) AND Sprint = "Sprint ID" AND linkedIssue in issueHistory()
According to Esther Strom's answer on this Atlassian site, there's a new query type:
Atlassian has very recently introduced a new JQL function called issueLinkType, which can be used in filters, but also in boards.
It's not perfect; if you're already using card colors for something else, you won't be able to use this as well. It also behaves inconsistently when a ticket has links of multiple types. But if you're looking for an easy way to get a view into what might be blocked, and what might have blockers, it works pretty well.
In KQL you can specified the type of link.
For what you want to do here what you can use
issue in linkedIssues([Issue#],"is blocked by")
I would like to program a filter in JIRA to show the number of bugs for a sprint and also calculate time spent. I have tried a number of the current reports but they do not automate this calculation. Has anyone successfully done this? I would prefer to do this via JQL rather than using the API.
With the standard JIRA functionality, the "issue search" page does not offer you a way to summarise values (yet).
There are a number of add-ons that can help you accomplish this though, for example:
sumUp
There is the sumUp add-on which does exactly that and is probably the easiest option.
Script Runner
You could also use Script Runner and its aggregateExpression JQL function, which supports "time spent" and other time fields and can give you a view like this:
Script Runner also has a ton of other useful features to customise JIRA.
Pivot Gadget
And if you're looking for a gadget to add on a dashboard instead, you could also use the Pivot Gadget add-on. This one supports pivot tables and can sum up totals, so you get something like this:
No Add-Ons Possible: Use the JIRA REST API
If installing add-ons is not an option, then you can still script a solution using JIRA's REST API. Especially the search resources will be useful.
You can use any kind of programming or scripting language to build this. There's already another answer that explains how to do this with bash, but if you google you will also find JIRA REST client libraries for java, python, ...
Also, most programming languages have very good REST support, so use whatever you are familiar with.
#GlennV is right - JQL is not SQL, and it returns only issues, not issue fields.
If you have the plugins he mentions, you should follow his guidelines.
If not, using the REST API gets you exactly what you need, even if you're loathe to use it :)
For my project key "MRL", I called:
https://my-jira-server/rest/api/latest/search?jsql=project=MRL%20AND%20issuetype=Bug
This returned a whole bunch of JSON info which I can then parse to get only the timeSpent field
If you're lucky enough to be on linux, you can use jq to quickly count the hours with this filter:
[.issues[] | .fields | select (.timespent != null) | .timespent] | add
If you want to try it, copy the entire JSON you got when you ran the REST API (the searchjql link), go to https://jqplay.org/, paste it into the JSON field, and paste the filter into the filter field.
I wrote a blog about something like this which you might want to refer to:
http://javamemento.blogspot.no/2016/05/jira-confluence-3.html
I want to know how many people have visited a particular isssue in order to know its popularity( I can't trust on number of watchers of the issue) .Is there any way (JiraDB or anything) by which i can know how many people(just the count) have visited any particular issue.
The question can be modified like this : Top 10 mostly visited issues in a week or so.
Seb's earlier answer provides a possible solution for JIRA Cloud. I am not aware of any off-the-shelf product for behind-the-firewall installations of JIRA, and I do not believe that views are tracked anywhere in the JIRA database.
For behind-the-firewall instances, you could certainly write a script to parse the JIRA access logs (stored in $JIRA_HOME/logs/access_log*) to count issue accesses that way.
The JIRA access logs are stored in a format that is similar to the Apache access log format, so you just need to parse out accesses to individual issues by looking for URLs of the format "http://MYJIRA/browse/ABC-123".
Out of the box this is not possible. Jira does not log view counts for single issues.
You could have a look if there is any plugin for this at https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?application=jira
E.g. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/communardo.connect.usage.statistic.addon looks like it could fit your requirements, but I personally have never heard of it.
After checking the Atlassian documentation about the kind of links of JIRA's issues (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Linking+Issues)
I couldn't figure out the difference between: "depends on" and "precedes". Does anybody know the difference among them?
I think someone defined "precedes" locally in your JIRA instance. JIRA admins can define new link types, e.g. "Tests" with text for the incoming and outgoing links.
To answer your question, it's likely a different issue link type. How it is used depends on your local JIRA practices
