How to extract stories from a filtered set of epics

Lara Savon

Hi - can you please help me with the JQL query for filtering out stories that correlate to certain epics from a filter?

e.g., Filter 1 brings back 5 epics (which have attached stories) How do I then pull the stories out of those epics onto my Kanban?

Right now this is what I have for filter 1 which is working as expected:

project = XXX AND "Epic Color" = ghx-label-14

If I try to do filter = "filterName" AND issuetype = Story, it does not work as expected. Also if I add issuetype = Story to the end of my first Filter, it also does not work.

Hi @Lara Savon and welcome to the community!

If I understand correctly, you want to get a list of all stories corresponding to specific epic(s)? If so, you want something like this:

project = XXX AND "Epic Link" IN(Epic1, Epic2, Epic3, ...) ORDER BY "Epic Link"

Feel free to use/remove ORDER BY. When querying for multiple epics, I like to have my stories grouped.

Hi @Mark Segall --

The problem is I dont want to link epic names, as the list of Epics that I want to bring in may change based on the creation of new ones that will go into this same category. Is there a way to filter epics based on color, then bring the stories from those epics in? So this filter will keep working as new epics of the same color are added to my roadmap.

Thanks!

Hi @Lara Savon - Yes Epic Color should work in the same way:

project = XXX AND "Epic color" IN(EpicColor1, EpicColor2, EpicColor3, ...) ORDER BY "Epic Color"

I should add that you probably want to add this if you're only wanting to see stories appear:

AND issuetype = Story
