JQL: retrieving all epics, stories and sub-tasks with a label

Question

Hello, I need to create a filter that extracts all epics (and its stories and tasks) and stories that has a specific label.

labels = xyz

It only returns the top-level epic and stories, not the stories and tasks for the epics.

How can I modify my query to include the stories and tasks under each epic?

Thank you @Magdalena Zhisheva

I tried your query and it only extracts the epic, not its story or tasks.

The other stories without epic are not picked up as well.

Is there a simpler way to structure the query to recursively :

labels = "xyz" and epic_link in (...), where ... are the epics with the labels

Hi @Jacqueline Goh ,

You can try this one:

labels = "xyz" and "Epic Link" is not EMPTY or issuetype = Epic and labels = "xyz"

If you want just to have the results with every one issue, which has the label, then try with labels = "xyz".

Hope it helps!
