Find all issues in epics that are open and resolved less than 60d ago

[Tina Park]

Hello! I have this filter that is finding the epics that I need:

project = xxxx AND type = Epic AND (Resolved > -60d OR Status not in (done, Canceled, Cancelled))

How do I find the issues within these epics now? 

I took a look at https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Is-it-possible-to-nest-a-filter-inside-another-JQL-query-with/qaq-p/1505604, but it when I reference my filter with the id in JQL, it correctly references the filter name but says it is causing a cyclical reference. I'm not sure how it's looping back to it.

You didn't show us your final filter so we can't say exactly why you are getting that error.

To get the issues that belong to the Epics the first filter retrieves you need a second filter.

The second filter would use the results of the first filter. Something like this:

"Epic Link" in (filter=<your filter>)

I don't recall if Jira Server supports that sort of filter re-use natively or if it requires a third party app to extend the filtering capabilities. I think it actually does not support this natively.
