How can I search for Epics and their stories & subtasks when i don't have the specific Epic IDs?

Question

Assume I have the following JQL to retrieve a particular batch of Epics

issuetype = epic AND project not in ("Example Project 1") AND resolution = Unresolved

Lets say I want all of these epics and all of the kids too.

parentEpic would work great IF I had all of the issue keys... which I just don't and can never guarantee I will.

My goal here is to create a plan based on epics from multiple projects and their stories, which also span multiple projects, and add them to an Advanced Roadmaps plan.

Is there any way to do this?

I want a filter that returns full structures for Epics that meet certain criteria.

Hi @Rob Horan ,

I'm not sure I understand. Is there anything in particular that you know about the epics that you need returned by your query? E.g., a time range when they're created ,or something like this?
