Filter Question

Question

I have a project called "X" and I'm tracking a large body of work in this project via a single Epic and I'm trying to create a filter that will show any Jira issues (epics, child issues/stories, tasks, etc.) in my project that meet the following three criteria:

* Not a child issue of the Epic X
* Not a Task that is linked to a child issue of Epic X
* Not linked to a Task that is linked to a child issue of Epic X

Is this possible? Below is a more visual representation:

* Epic X* Child Issue 1* Task 1 (linked issue)* Linked Issue 1

* Task 2 (linked issue)* Linked Issue 2
* Linked Issue 3

* Task X (linked issue)

* Child Issue 2* Task 3 (linked issue)* Linked Issue 4

* Task 4 (linked issue)
* Task X (linked issue)

* Child Issue X...

Thank you!

Can you show us the filters you created?

Yes, I have access to scriptrunner.  I've kinda hacked together a solution using script runner, but it requires me to create three filters and reference each one which isn't ideal.  Is there an easy way to to this within a single filter? Thanks!

Hello @Jacob Silzer

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

It will not be possible to create that filter with native Jira functionality.

Are you willing to consider, or do you already have, a third party app that extends the JQL capabilities?
