JIRA JQL - Epic-Story-Subtask hierarchy

Question

How can I get subtasks of Epic with certain status and component (without hard coding specific EPIC Keys).

I have Epic->Story->Subtask hierarchy

I tried following functions without success

* IssueFunction in subtasksof("...")
* subtasksOf("IssueFunction in IssuesInEpics("...")
* LinkedIssuesOf options

What tool, plugin do I need?

Hi @daljitsb

My understanding is you're looking to:

1) Select a JQL filter for Epics with a certain status or component.

2) See all Stories and Sub-tasks in the hierarchy underneath those Epics.

I created a plugin called Agile Docs which can do this.

Select your filter for Epics which matches your component or status criteria and Agile Docs will display all the issues underneath those Epics down to the sub-task level.

Hope that helps!

Best Regards,

Rhys

Hi @daljitsb -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you search the marketplace for JQL add-ons, you will find tools that could help with your request:

Depending upon the number of issues you expect back (and the number of epics), you could also use an automation rule to dynamically build the query, eliminating the need to hard-code the epic names.  Please look here for information about automation rules:
