Find the tasks that are dependent on tasks within particular epics only

Alexia_d12sus

I am trying to write a search query to find tasks that depend on tasks within a particular epic. For example:

Epic_A has the following tasks:

Task_A

Task_B

 

And Task_A is depended on by:

Task_C which sits in another epic (let's say Epic_B)

 

What search query can I use to find Task_C? I only want to find the dependent tasks of tasks that sit within particular epics only, not all epics.

Hello @Alexia , 

Welcome to community!

I don't think your use case can be achieved with Native feature of Jira cloud due to limitation mentioned here: 

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-21936

However I see nest function query can be achieve with script runner. Here is a discussion that you might like to review :

Have a great day!
