Find linked stories to Epics in several projects

Question

How can I find the Stories that are linked to the Epics that I want to see?

Example: Different projects has labeled Epics for us to find those, but the stories are not labeled and now we want to see them as well.

Created this JQL: issuetype in (Initiative, Epic) AND labels in (ZZZ) AND resolution = Unresolved

How can I filter to also get the stories that are linked to the Initiatives/Epics that I'm searching for in my JQL where I don't know the Epic id's?

Hi Goncalves,

So to get the issues of the Epics/Initiatives that we got in return from the query the only option is a add-on since I don't know the Epic key and it is about 150 different Epics. Is that correct understanding?

Hello Robert,

Unfortunately, there are no options you could search the stories related to the Epics returned from a specific query natively on JIRA, as mentioned before.

The only way would be if you had the Epic issue key, so you could set it in the query as the "Epic Link":

"Epic Link" = epicname

However, you mentioned that you would like to use the query when you don't know the Epic id, so I believe this is not a useful option.

Let us know if you have any questions.
