JQL for a tree of Epic and all issue links nested

[Joan M_ Matsumoto]

Is there a simpler way to write a query that will return all Issues linked to an Epic, and then all Issues linked to those Issues, ad infititum, or at least until there are no more Issue lnks?

Using the simplest JQL terms seems to require that I write statements using Parent, Issue in LinkedIssues, etc. for every Issue in order to create a Swimlane based on every Issue linked to a specific Epic, and then every Issue linked to those Issues.

Because I am in the Cloud version of JIRA 8.8, I cannot obtain the add-on called Impact for JIRA Traceability which does this.

Thank you!

Hi @Joan M_ Matsumoto 

unfortunately this is not possible out of the box. JQL is quiet limited compared to SQL. And even in a powerful language like SQL, recursive requests need some experience. There are some plugins like BigPicture or Structure that might do the job.
