Hello @Rina Speciale 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you describe your issue type hierarchy?

The native Jira issue type hierarchy is:

Epic
|-- Story, Task, etc.
|-- subtasks

You mentioned "feature".  Is that what you call the items at the Epic level of the hierarchy, or are "features" at a higher level?

Are the user stories connected to the feature directly as Children, or are they connected through generic issue linking?

Can you provide a screen image of a "feature" pointing out in the image the "user stories" that you want to retrieve?

 

Without that additional information one option you might try is documented here:

issuekey in childIssuesOf(<feature issue key>)

Epic->Feature->User Story

The user stories are linked to the Feature so yes, they are direct children.

Hello @Rina Speciale 

Has the issue type hierarchy actually been modified, or are you using generic issue linking to artificially create a parent/child relationship between Feature and User Story?

Are you able to access this page (change the URL to match your Jira instance) and share the information found there?

https://yourBaseUrl/secure/PortfolioHierarchy.jspa

If you are not able to access that page, can you provide a screen image of a Feature showing the area listing its child User Stories? I want to see if they appear in a collapsible section labeled "Issue Links", or labeled "Issues in Epic", or labeled "Child Issues".
