How to add an Epic as a Parent JIRA issue

[Dave Kelsey]

We currently use the "Insert JIRA Issue/Filter" to show the parent issue and sub-tasks using the term "parent = (JIRA ticket number)"

However we are moving to use Epics which have Features beneath them, we wish to display the full list of Features and use the Epic ticket number as the parent.

How can I achieve this?

Hi @Dave Kelsey , welcome to the Community.

I may be missing your point here. If you are asking how to form a JQL for your epics such that the display the underlying issues the following might work.

If using a TMP - parent = ABC-123

If using CMP - "epic link" = ABC-123

again, I may be missing your point here.

I didn't ask the question properly I think.

We didn't use Epics until recently but where we had a parent ticket we wanted to show the sub-tasks and this worked fine using the original JIRA status.

We now want to see the Features attached to the Epic as a list, where the Epic effectively becomes the "parent" this may not be possible.

Jack, your solution "CMP - "epic link" = ABC-123" worked perfectly thanks very much!!
