How to exclude issues from blocked epics on a board

[Maria Z]

Hi there!

I need help to create a query that will exclude all issues that belong to a specific status of epics (let's say blocked). I know how to select issues from a single epic, but need a query that will be not so specific.

Thanks!

Hello Maria,

You can easily find this result using JQL Search Extensions

The following JQL will finds children of epics with a particular status.

issue in childrenOfEpicsInQuery("status='blocked'")

The full documentation can be found here.

Hi Jiad

thank you for your response!

Do I have to create childrenOfEpicsInQuery by myself or is it given by JQL Search extension product? When I type in "issue in" in the search box, it doesn't give me this option or any of the options listed in https://jqlsearchextensions.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SEARCH/pages/1428357149/Extended+search#JQL-Function

thanks

Hi @Maria Z ,

The function that accept a subquery as a parameter are part of JQL Search Extensions indexing service.

To use childrenOfEpicsInQuery make sure to go to Apps->JQL Search Extensions->Extended search.

I hope this helps!

I just got a confirmation from our Jira support team that our company does not have this plugin. Unfortunately.

Thank you all for your replies.
