Query to find all issues without specific task from other project

Question

I work on 2 related projects (A and B) . In Project A Epic there are 4 tasks, some of the project work is done by the team working on Project B (I clone one of the tasks to Project B) . I need to create a filter that will show me epics for which there is no task created in Project B.

Hi @Adam Tarczałowicz

I’m Maurício, a support engineer at Digital Toucan and I’m here to help you.

Unfortunately, using JQL of Jira, you’ll not be able to do it.

In the app where my team works, JQL Search Extensions for Jira, you can use this query to find all your epics that have a children task that is not from project B.

issue in epicsOfChildrenInQuery("type = task and project != B”)

Please contact our support if you have any other questions about this query.

We’ll be happy to help you!
Best regards,
Maurício

Hi Adam

You can use "Parent Link" is EMPTY (in the latest Jira Cloud at least) when searching for Epics.
