Need help in listing issues associated with an epic in jira

[Krishnadhas N K]

i am writing an automation. for the purpose i need to pull the list of issues associated with the specific epic.

i tried atlassian python api as well as jira cloud rest api. i couldnt get a proper answer even from the web. can someone share me enough detail so i can proceed

I tried both 

# Issues within an Epic
jira.epic_issues(epic_key)

jira.get_issues_for_epic(board_id, epic_id)

refernce: 

Jira module — Atlassian Python API 3.41.14 documentation (atlassian-python-api.readthedocs.io)

Hi @Krishnadhas N K 

I don't know about the API part, but a simple JQL should do the trick:

parent = ABC-123 

where ABC-123 is the key of the Epic.

Hi @Krishnadhas N K 

Yes, and...to John's suggestion, you may use this REST API function with the JQL:

https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-search/#api-rest-api-3-search-get

Please see the details for managing the returned issues, fields, etc.

Kind regards,
Bill
