Mismatched status of initiatives

Question

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to build a filter that looks for initiatives in a new or closed status with epics that are in progress. An example of this would be a new status initiative with an in progress epic.

This is the filter I created to solve it.

Issuetype = Initiative AND Status IN (Closed, "Under Refinement", "New") AND issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("STATUS ='In Progress' AND ISSUETYPE = EPIC")

The problem I am having is that it is picking up on "associated epics" that are currently in progress. Is there any way to change or update the filter to not include associated epics?

Hi @Justin Peters

Can I confirm you want to get as results...

* Initiatives which are in the Statuses Closed, Under Refinement, or New
* That have direct child Epics which are In Progress

...is this correct?

Have you tried this?

issuetype = Initiative AND status IN (New, Closed, "Under Refinement") AND issueFunction in portfolioParentsOf("issuetype = Epic and status = 'In Progress'")

Hi @Justin Peters

Welcome to the community.

What do you mean by "associated epics"?

Your query searches for linked issues. However, there is also a function called epicsOf. Please take a look this page.
