Jira Board filtering Epic and Tasks

[Munir Patel]

When filtering for a user in Jira Board, I want to display all the tasks under an epic that belongs to the filtered user plus other tasks in same epic even if it belongs to other users. Example is attached.

Hi @Munir Patel 

That is not possible. You would have to filter for the issue assigned, then access the epic and then access the children of those. These sort of iterations are only possible with automation. You cannot even access a variable Epic to filter for Child issues.

my best idea is to add a custom field (Multi User) to the Epic collecting all current "Participants" and adding all Assignees from the Child issues to the Epic (and removing if the assignee is changed). Copy the value of that field to all child issues.

You can then filter for the user in that field.

However, that seems a bit stupid and I wouldn't recommend that.
