How can we write a JQL query to exclude sub-tasks that have a bug parent?

How can we write a JQL query to exclude sub-tasks that have a bug parent?

We are using Aha (which we love) but we're getting error when Jira is sending sub-tasks that have bug parents. It appears we are already excluding bugs (yay!) but not their sub-tasks. How can we write a JQL query to exclude sub-tasks that have a bug parent?

Thank you!

Hi Rachel, welcome to the Community. You cannot do this OOTB. Consider an addon, e.g. jql-search-extensions-for-jira-reports , Scriptrunner, etc. With the first addon you can leverage something like the following and work it into your current JQL.

...issue not in subTaskOf ("issuetype=bug")

Thanks, Jack! I feel less crazy that I couldn't figure it out.
