Search issues from a list of issuekeys generated by a previous JQL search

Mathieu Lapeyre

Hello,

I am trying to create a JIRA dashboard that lists the user-stories which belong to a list of EPICs. I don't know the EPIC issuekeys in advance so I need to do a JQL search before.

How can I include this JQL query within the second JQL query?

e.g:

"Epic Link" in (project in (PROJECTA, PROJECTB, PROJECTC) AND "Current Quarter" in cascadeOption(2020, Q3))

 This ☝️would list all the user-stories that belong to the EPICs which are in our Q3 2020 roadmap.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

Sadly you cannot achieve the desired search using standard features on Jira, you must go for a third-party app instead. Using i.e. JQL Booster Pack (if you are on Server / DataCenter) you can type the following:

 

1) A bunch of Epics....

type = Epic AND project in (PROJECTA, PROJECTB) AND "Current Quarter" IN cascadeOption(2020, Q3))

2) Stories of above Epics

type = Story AND issue IN issuesInEpics(' type = Epic AND project in (PROJECTA, PROJECTB) AND "Current Quarter" IN cascadeOption(2020, Q3))')

(*) Note that this is just an example, you must tune above query to fit your needs.

 

Using this app you can also query other issues relations, check:

• epicsOf()
• hasSubtasks()
• issuesInEpics()
• linkedIssuesOf()
• parentsOf()
• portfolioChildOf()
• portfolioParentOf()
• subtasksOf()
