pull list of issues and sub-tasks that are linked to an epic.

Question

I am looking to pull all issues and subtask that are linked to particular Epic, I used "parentEpic = XR-5949" based on this Document , but it is giving me error link "Field 'parentEpic' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it."

I used parentEpic in (XR-5949) too but same error.

Hi @Nagaraju Reddy Please try the below JQL and it should give you the issues in Epic with their sub-tasks

"Epic Link" = XR-5949 OR issueFunction in subtasksOf("\"Epic Link\"=XR-5949")

Also, the parentEpic JQL function is only available for Cloud version and not for the Server one. based on your tags looks like you are using jira-server version and document link you using above is for Cloud version,

But, still try above JQL query it should give you the desired results you looking for.

Hi @Nagaraju Reddy

Please try this jql :

parent = AC-15 OR key in linkedIssues("AC-15")

Just replace AC--5949 With your parent issue key.

It will show all the task or story which are linked to parent issue.

Note: if the jql shows the same error as a above then probably you don't have permission to view these issues that you are looking for.
