Get stories of issues in another project linked to an epic in your project

Question

I have an epic in my project.

It is linked to a special  issue type above epic and epics in another project.

How do I see all the associated Stories.

I can see the linked issues using        issue in linkedIssues(ABC-1234)

Sorry to report that, for our setup, this has no effect.

It returns all the items directly linked to ABC-1234 but not any of the stories linked to these items.

It is probably worth mentioning that although ABC-123 is an Epic the linked items are special and at a higher logical level than Epics.

Each of these Special Items have epics attached to them and stories attached to the epics.

Hi @Malcolm Lisle ,

Try adding this to your JQL:  "Epic Link" = ABC-1234

So you end up with this query: "Epic Link" = ABC-1234 or issue in linkedIssues(ABC-1234)

This will return all issues in the Epic and any issues linked to the Epic.

Hope this helps!
