Filter on Issues belonging to Epics

[richardofrugeley]

I am designing a personalised dashboard to show issue status using a number of Filter Results gadgets. The associated filters identify

• particular words in the issue summary (for sub-tasks), or
• particular words in the linked Epic (for Tasks)

I can construct the sub-tasks filters using typically summary ~ ABC AND project = project1.

I have difficulty with the Tasks filters using typically "Epic Name" ~ ABC AND project = project1 because it generates a list of Epics instead of Tasks belonging to the Epic.

If I try "Epic Name" ~ ABC AND issuetype = Task AND project = project1 then "no issues are found".

How should I reference the Epic in a Task filter?

Use the "epic link" to get the Tasks/Stories within an Epic. If you view one of the issues in the epic you will find Epic link.
