Hi @Monika Sobocka , welcome to the community.

So you can't achieve that nativly with JQL. You would need an add-on, such as scriptrunner to achieve via a query. However, one option, although a bit ugly, would be to use automation to label the parents. Using your example, whenever a subtask was created with a summary that had "layout" then it would add a label (layout) to the subtask's parent. In this way you could query for issues where the label has "layout". Obviously, this is not very dynamic and would require a lot of manual effort on your part but if it's a occasional task, then not a big deal.
