Subtaks filter

I created a custom filter so I can see subtasks on stories/tasks via the following: 

issuetype = Sub-task AND status IN ("New", "In Progress", "Done")

And it isn't filtering stories/tasks with subtasks. I know the naming convention is child work item but the query is kicking that out when I try replacing it with that rather than subtask.

Hi @aleks_misovic and welcome to the Community!

Could you be a bit more specific about what you are seeing as a result versus what you are expecting to see?

When you say:

 it isn't filtering stories/tasks with subtasks

I understand you are hoping to see tasks or subtasks being returned. Your query is not doing that: you are explicitly saying you only want to see sub-tasks returned, so that is what I expect Jira would indeed do.

If you want JQL to return tasks / stories, you'll need to add these types to your filter. Unfortunately, there is no native way to search for issues having sub-tasks without a marketplace app.

Hope this helps!
