How to find all User Stories (grandchildren) under all epics (parents) under a Feature (grandparent)

[Matthew Mahoney]

I used to be able to use the following JQL in a non-SaaS version of JIRA:

"Epic Link" in childIssuesOf(insertJIRAKey)

With the upcoming removal of "Epic Link" to replace with 'Parent", I'm unable to use the 'childIssuesOf' part of JQL that will allow me to find grandchildren through a grandparent.

Has anyone solved this problem to find grandchildren through a grandparent that is happy to share the JQL please?

If you have a hierarchy like

Initiative -> Epic -> Story

then below JQL gives you all issues under the Initiative (TEST-1)

key in portfolioChildIssuesOf("TEST-1")

 Is this what you are looking for?

Hi Vishal,

Thanks for responding.

PortfolioChildIssiesOf has worked in giving me the following hierarchy

Initiative -> Epic -> Story -> Acceptance Criteria

So I've just added and 'type = User Story' to ensure that I don't bring back great-grand children.

Thanks for your help
