Is there a JQL to get the children of an already created filter?

[Charles Famarin]

Goal: I want to be able to get the children of multiple epics that already exist on a filter using JQL (No Script Runner or paid add ons).

Given: I have an existing filter with an ID = 1234.  This filter's JQL -> Key in (a bunch of epic keys).

How: Looking to create a new filter like -> parent in (filter = 1234).  This will return all the stories, tasks, bugs, etc.

Thanks in advance community!

Hi Charles - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Try this: issuekey in portfolioChildIssuesOf("ABC-123")  to see if that is pulling back what you want for that Epic. (Where ABC-123 is an Epic). 

I don't think you can put filter = 1234 in there instead, but give it a try. Otherwise, try multiple epic keys separated by a comma.

Thanks for the response @jon !

Confirmed that I can NOT put portfolioChildIssuesOf(filter = 1234).

Yes, I could totally do something like -> parent in (list of hard coded epic keys), but that would be duplicating my original filter (1234).  Which is what I want to avoid and see if its possible.

Cheers!

Figured as much. And understood on the duplication. Where the portfolioChildIssues functionality comes in handy is when you are searching for children of issue types higher than Epics in your issue type hierarchy. Sorry the other didn't work, would be nice.
