Set filter for issues without Epic link

[Agnieszka Johnson]

Hello, I am using a Team-managed project and looking to set up a filter to quickly bulk assign issues to an epic. How do I create a filter search for all current issues that are NOT linked to an Epic?

You could also use simply 'project = TM and "Epic link" is empty' - Epics and sub-tasks don't have epic links!

Hi @Agnieszka Johnson and welcome to the community!

Team Managed projects use the parent field for epic.  You'd want something like this:

project = TM and parent is EMPTY and issuetype != Epic

Sub-tasks also use the Parent field to identify their parent issues so I would advise updating the filter thus:

project = TM and parent is EMPTY and issuetype not in (Epic,Subtask)
