getting all epics related to a release from jira rest api

[Mehran]

I can get all versions of a project and all epics too, but I can not relate this versions(releases) to the epics. 

what I want is: to get all epics which belongs to a version. is there a way to do so?

Hi @Mehran -- Welcome to the Atlassian community!

Have you tried to from a JQL query and then call the REST API for it?  Maybe something like:

project = myProject
 AND issueType = Epic
 AND fixVersion = myVersion
 ORDER BY Key

Then look at the examples here to make the REST API call for the query:

thanks a lot for your answer. be glad to be part of this community.

it doesn't work for me , but I wanted for a known epic for example epic = 'Desktop' to become all the versions which they have issues in common. for example maybe a release(version) has no issues with the this epic. and this answer which uses issueType as Epic gets all epics, although it doesn't work for me

Tanx again.

Hi @Mehran 

Thanks for the additional information, but I am now confused what you are trying to accomplish.

I can tell you that JQL is not SQL; it is much simpler.  It seems you are trying to form a complex query with joins that JQL cannot perform.  And so, the REST API couldn't call such a query.

To form such a query you would need one of the marketplace add-on tools which improve the query language, such as ScriptRunner.
