Filter issues by label and include their children regardless of their labels

lucas_7j36tw

Hi, I am looking for a method to filter by issues containing a certain label but also to include their child issues regardless of their labels.

I found a lot of articles that refer to multiple plugins but those are not available on Jira Cloud version.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

thanks

lucas

@lucas , an amazing plugin JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports is available on Cloud which can solve your issue.

I create your scenario and its successfully returning the results.

What you need to do is.

Create one sub query "labels=yourlable"
Then use this query to get your results.

subTaskOfQuery="parentissueswithlabel" or issuesInQuery="parentissueswithlabel"

Please note that "parentissueswithlabel" is the alias of the sub query. This query will return all issues with label=yourlabel and their child issues.

Here is the documentation , how to use it

you may be able to do this...

create a filter say "parents_with_labels" that has a JQL - labels in (a,b,c)
create another filter "parents&children" that has a JQL - issuetype = sub-task and parent in filter (parents_with_labels) OR labels in (a,b,c)

TBH, not sure this will work. just something to try. I don't use the "filter" function much.

LMK the results

Unfortunately a filter() function does not exist on Jira Cloud, do you use a Plugin for that?

Jack Brickey

it may be part of the Jira toolkit plugin which I have installed but it is free. That is the only addon I have that might explain the difference you are seeing.

I could not find any information about a filter() function using Toolkit Plugin for Jira. Either way it is not available for Jira Cloud, so it would not help :-(

Anyway, thanks for checking. Does anybody has any other idea?

looks good to me, due to lack of rights I need to ask my administrator to install the plugin - as soon as I have more informations I'll come back to you,...

Anyway thank you in advance :-)

I can now confirm that using the JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports plugin I can search for issues with a label and displaying those issues as well as their children.

Too bad this is only possible using a plugin,... I would expect to be able to do this with Jira out of the box :-(

Anyway thanks for pointing me to a workable method,... :-)

The best solution I found so far is filtering by parent epic.

parentEpic = epicName

I could see that working, but then you have to update the query when the EPIC closes, right?

Labels tend to be more permanent..
