How to get the portfolio initiatives/stakeholders that are parent of a story?

[Deleted user]

The question is simple. Let's say I have a story with issue key 'STORY-123'. Given this, using JQL, I should be able to find the portfolio initiative this story belongs to. In the same way, need be, I should be able to find the portfolio stakeholder this story belongs to.

There are a multitude of solutions to find the children given the parent, but this is tricky since we have to find the second/third level parent of a given issue. 

Story -> Epic -> Initiative -> Stakeholder

Hi Arun,

This is possible with a new JQL introduced in Portfolio for Jira 2.11 server version.

To get a result of any parent issue of an issue in a specific hierarchy level, type issuekey in parentIssuesOf("EX-000"). This should be done via JQL in JIra.
