I have json file and want to parse it with jq, to have in output something like this:

.issues.keys .project.self .fixVersions.id .fixVersions.name

.fixVersions.description .resolution.description .resolution.name
.versions.name .summary.summary

And here is json part:

[
 
 "expand": "schema,names",

 "maxResults": 50,
 "total": 56,

 "key": "AXL-2766",

I've tried but stucked in this:

.[] | issues: .issues, fields: [ .fields .fixVersions .name]

P.S json file can be damaged as I've deleted from there some private info :)

(assuming your json is fixed/valid)

if you're not limited to using jq only, let me offer you an alternative solution: using jtc unix utility it's easy to walk json path (subscripting would look like in a programming language, e.g. similar to Python).

Thus, if your json structure if fixed, then in order to dump all required values provide a walk-path to each of those items:

bash $ jtc -w'[0][issues][0][key]' -w'[0][issues][0][fields][project][self]' -w'[0][issues][0][fields][fixVersions][0][name]' -w'[0][issues][0][fields][fixVersions][0][description]' -w'[0][issues][0][fields][resolution][description]' -w'[0][issues][0][fields][resolution][name]' -w'[0][issues][0][summary]' file.json
"AXL-2766"
"https://jira/rest/api/2/project/15770"
"0.2.0"
"description1"
"description2"
"Fixed"
"summary"
bash $ 

to shorten the command: a common part of the path [0][issues][0] (which is present in each walk), could be separated out from variable parts, this would produce a shorter cli with the same result:

bash $ jtc -x'[0][issues][0]' -y'[key]' -y'[fields][project][self]' -y'[fields][fixVersions][0][name]' -y'[fields][fixVersions][0][description]' -y'[fields][resolution][description]' -y'[fields][resolution][name]' -y'[summary]' file.json 
"AXL-2766"
"https://jira/rest/api/2/project/15770"
"0.2.0"
"description1"
"description2"
"Fixed"
"summary"
bash $ 

if your example is only a part of a bigger json (i.e. it's not shown from the root), then replace the initial part ([0][issues][0]) with one employing a search key instead: <issues>l[0].
