How to filter all tickets, regardless of project, that has a parent in a specific project

Hi All!

I'm trying to create a plan that includes Epics in a specific project (E.g. Project 'ABC'), which may have tasks/stories that belong to other projects without having to set up a filter that relies on adding a label to each ticket that sits outside the project where the Epic is from. 

Is there a way to create a filter that automatically filters in ALL tickets with a "Parent" that sits in Project 'ABC'?

Thanks!

Jorge

Hey @jorge_negrete 👋 welcome to the community!

Native JQL can’t do this automatically. You can only query one parent at a time like:

parent = ABC-123

To pull all children of Epics in Project ABC, here are your options as far as I know:

Advanced Roadmaps (works even if issues aren’t in a plan)

issue in portfolioChildIssuesOf("project = ABC")

ScriptRunner

issueFunction in childrenOfIssuesInQueryRecursive("project = ABC")

3rd-party apps

  • Advanced JQL Functions (Cloud)
  • Enhanced Search (Adaptavist) (Cloud)
  • More Extension for JQL (Cloud & DC)
  • JQL Booster Pack (DC only)
  • Links Hierarchy (Cloud & DC)

Hope this helps!
