For Linked Issues:

issue in linkedIssues(issueKey,linkType)

For Task linked to Epic: 

project = "projectKey" AND "Epic Link" = issueKey AND issuetype = Task

Subtask of Task linked to Epic

Since Sub-Tasks follow the Syntax parent = issueKey or parent in ("issueKey-1, issueKey2 ")

I guess it's not possible to retrieve the Subtask of Task linked to Epic from JQL

You can't have Sub-Task for Epic

Thanks,

FYI

The Subtask of Task linked to Epic is possible with add-ons and please follow the link for more info..

Hello @Austin Green

project = "<you_project_here>" AND ("Epic Link" = <your_epic_here> OR parentEpic in (<your_epic_here>) )ORDER BY Rank ASC

"Epic Link" gives you stories or tasks in the Epic, while "parentEpic" gives you the subtasks linked to a story or task for that specific Epic.

FYI,

For subtasks of all tasks under a Epic

project = "projectKey" AND ("Epic Link" = issueKey or parentEpic= issueKey)

Will return all subtasks and tasks under a epic.

For the example you give, you just need:

parentEPIC = <your epic>

This will return the EPIC and ALL its contents.

The same results will be returned by

linkedIssue = <your epic>

(As noted above. EPICs don't have sub-tasks; tasks have sub-tasks)

Using "EPIC Link" = <your epic> will return the contents of the epic excluding sub-tasks.

Finding 'linked' issues i.e. those not part of the parent -> child hierarchy (EPIC -> Task -> Sub-task) but linked via 'blocks', 'duplicates' etc requires the use of:

issue in linkedIssues("<issue key>")

parent epic is not an option for me
