Need to create query that displays all issues under an initiative within a project?

Question

I am trying to create a scrum board for one initiative within a project that contains several initiatives.  I want create a scrum team that will only see epics, stories, bugs, tasks, that are associated with that one initiative.  Rather than creating a separate project, is there a way to build a query that will allow me to manage issues under one initiative as a scrum project.

Hi Trudy,

I was able to link up with an internal JIRA admin who was able to help me create the filter for my Scrum board.  Simple JQL, project = XLL AND issuekey in (childIssuesOf(XLL-99)).  The initiative is XLL-99, and I wanted all epics, stories, issues that rollup to it, to be displayed on the board.

How did you create your initiative issue hierarchy? Are you using a roadmapping feature like Advanced Roadmaps?
