Find all issues where Epic is in specific state

Jan Arve Dyrnes

 

Then I would like to find all issues where the Epic has the status: “In Progress” and “To Do” within a specific project. I also have JQLT on my server cload but can to figure it a way to do it and I think that is a little bit strange 😊 To me it is realy logical if you use the roadmap planner and are going to decide on a higher level what to work with that you are abel to see all issues where the Epic is in production.

I can of course organize this in another and stop using epics but use child issues instead, then it would be pretty easy to solve this with the jqlt.parent.status of course. I also have one older project organized like this so when I try to get data for both does projects I do it like this:

project in ("ts", "WTG") and jqlt.parent.status in ("In Progress", "To Do") ORDER BY createdDate DESC

 

and then I do not get any of the tasks that are only connected to an epic or has an Epic as a parent as I see it? I am also trying to rebuild the JQLT index now but I do not think it will help 😊

Hi @Jan Arve Dyrnes ,

With standard JQL, you can only get a list of issues and export them to Excel for further processing. This works if you want to do a one-off analysis. If your use case is more dynamic than that, look beyond standard Jira.

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow it, but you can quickly find the results using our professional indexing service JQL Search Extensions

After you install the app, you can simply search:

project in ("ts", "WTG") and issue in childrenOfEpicsInQuery("status in ('In Progress', 'To Do')") ORDER BY createdDate DESC

Check out the documentation for more examples.

I hope this helps!
