Lookup issues on Level 2 Hierarchy Work type

[deseymour]

I have added a Level 2 work type in my hierarchy and would like to know if there is any JQL I could use to look up the work types within that Level 2 item. Currently, my hierarchy is 

Theme - Level 2

Epic - Level 1

Task - Level 0

I am using the following as a lookup to find the Tasks within the Epic - "Epic Link" = {{issue.key}}

I need something similar to lookup the Epics in the Theme.

Hello @deseymour 

Based on the example you mentioned for Epics, you appear to be trying to get the child items of he Epic.

Is your goal to get the child items of the Themes?

If so the JQL would be:

Parent = <key for the Theme work item>

In Jira Cloud the Parent field is used at all levels to record that hierarchical parent of a work item. The "Epic Link" field has actually been included in a long term deprecation plan and you should switch to use "Parent" wherever you have used "Epic Link".

Again...you gave me what I needed. Thank you so much. I was trying to find the children of the Theme. But I didn't know if additional hierarchy levels would work the same way.
