How can I search for Epics and their stories & subtasks when i don't have the specific Epic IDs?

[Rob Horan]

Assume I have the following JQL to retrieve a particular batch of Epics

issuetype = epic AND project not in ("Example Project 1") AND resolution = Unresolved

Lets say I want all of these epics and all of the kids too.

parentEpic would work great IF I had all of the issue keys... which I just don't and can never guarantee I will.

My goal here is to create a plan based on epics from multiple projects and their stories, which also span multiple projects, and add them to an Advanced Roadmaps plan.

Is there any way to do this?

Hi @Rob Horan ,

I'm not sure I understand. Is there anything in particular that you know about the epics that you need returned by your query? E.g., a time range when they're created ,or something like this?

I want a filter that returns full structures for Epics that meet certain criteria.
