JQL Question

Eric Roetenberg

Hello 

 

Help!!

I need to have a JQL that:

that only shows userstory if:
project category != SAFe
Epic link != Empty
The Epic above has as Reporter X

I have this now but it does not work
category = SAFe AND "Epic Link" != EMPTY AND reporter = 62178db2802e760075497858

How do I get the reporter from the parent epic into the JQL?

Hi @Eric Roetenberg 

If your goal is to return a batch of stories, bugs, tasks, etc. whose Epic Reporter is x, you're not going to be able to do so natively.  Without 3rd party apps, your best bet is to create a custom user field to capture the epic reporter on the child issues. Then create an automation like this:

• TRIGGER: Field Value Changed (Epic Link)
• ACTION: Edit Issue (Your Custom Epic Reporter Field)

From here you could then use this query (note - use IS NOT EMPTY rather than != EMPTY)

Category != SAFe AND "Epic Link" IS NOT EMPTY AND <Custom Epic Reporter Field> = 62178db2802e760075497858
