Custom Filter - Child Issue

Question

Hi,

I have the Jira Team-managed software and I was wondering how to create a custom filter for child issues. My board has multiple Jira cards, which have about 10 child issues, and I want to be able to create a "Due today" and "Due this week" custom filter for my board. Currently just have one for the card, but need one for each child issue.

In a Team Managed project an Epic can have "child issues" that are issues of the types at the standard issue level.

An issue at the standard issue level can have "child issues" that are Subtask type issues.

Are you talking about standard issue level issues as "child issues" of Epics, or Subtask type issues that are "child issues" of issues at the standard issue level?

As I said, you should not need different custom filters if the only criteria in your filter concern the Due Date field.

Perhaps it will become more clear if you provide screen images showing your current filter statements and the results of applying those filters, and point out the other issues that you want to display with different filters.

No, I mean "Child Issue". The child issues have due dates and they each have different due dates.

For example the due date for the entire project is set for 12/31/23. There are subtasks 1-10 Jira tasks with overall categories but each category have sub-tasks. For instance, having budgeting better (the card) has multiple steps aka child issues. I need to filter both

Hello @LDin

Welcome to that Atlassian community.

When you say "child issues" do you mean Subtasks?

If so, have you assigned Due Dates to those issues?

You should not need separate filters for the child issues vs. the parent issues, as long as the custom filters reference only the Due Date field. Why do you think you need a custom filter for each card and each child issue?
