How to filter parent issues of a list of subtasks

Question

Hi,

I have an issue that linked with lots of subtasks. And i need to list parents of these subtasks.

So i need a filter that returns parents of a list of child issues (which linked to an issue.).

Hi Bill,

Yes the scenaro is right.

Actually i'm looking for a solution without add-ons but i suppose it is not possible.

Thank you for your answer.

Hi @sevcan

To confirm the scenario, you have:

Issue A...with links to

* Sub-task 123 of another story (Issue B)
* Sub-task 456 of another story (Issue C)
* ...

And you want a list containing Issues B and C.  Correct?

If so, you cannot do that with out-of-the-box JIRA.  If you have one of the marketplace scripting add-ons, you an probably build a query to do this.

As a work-around, you could export the project's data to a spreadsheet, and join across the keys, parents, and epic links to find the issues and build a report.

Best regards.

Bill
