Search Query to list all sub-tasks for issues with custom field value

Mike Lee

Hi. I'm trying to find the right query for this problem, if such a query exists.

Scenario

• I have JIRA issues that contain a custom field
• When creating sub-tasks for issues, the sub-tasks do not inherent the custom field value from the parent (ie custom field is blank for sub-tasks)
• I would like to create a filter to list all issues that contain a certain value in the custom field along with all sub-tasks that belong to those issues

Example

Project = ABC AND [Custom Field] = XYZ OR sub-tasks of (Project = ABC AND [Custom Field] = XYZ)

Is this possible?

Hello @Mike Lee 

Jira does not natively support nesting filters in that manner.

You can get the subtasks of issues, but you must provide the actual issue keys for the parent issues.

This can be done with third party apps, though. Are you will to consider getting such an app or do you already have one that extends the issue searching capabilities?
