Filtering unlabeled child issues

Mateusz Zurawik-Le Mercier

Dear all, here's the challenge. I need to set up a filter for user stories that would also show their child issues (e.g. subtasks) even if these subtasks are not labeled.

My current query is this:

labels = MyLabel ORDER BY created DESC

Is there a JQL query that can do the job? If not, does anyone know a free plugin that might get it done? Thanks a lot!

Hi @Mateusz Zurawik-Le Mercier ,

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:

labels=Mylabel OR issue in subtasksOfParentsInQuer("labels='MyLabel'") order by created desc

Check out the documentation for more examples.

I hope this helps!
