Find all the initiatives covered in a sprint

Question

I am trying to get a list of all the initiatives covered in a sprint.
I had this working before Christmas but the filters are no longer working.

Previous filters - using scriptrunner & Jira Cloud

Epics in the sprint - filter 1 -  issueFunction in epicsOf("sprint = XX") - this filter is still working

Initiatives which cover these epics - issueFunction in parentsOf("filter=1")  - this was working but now just gives 'NO RESULTS FOUND'

Does anyone know what has changed in the last few weeks or have ideas for a different approach?

Hello @Catriona Barker

Have you gotten any insights yet from the app vendor?

Thanks. I'll try contacting ScriptRunner but the filters were working after the field/link update.

Yes - the filters are all saved and looking at closed sprints, so content should not have changed at all over the holiday.

Hello @Catriona Barker

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Are you executing the first filter for the same Sprint as when you executed the filter before the end of the year?

How are you indicating that an Initiative "covers" an Epic? Are you using Advanced Roadmaps Plans to make the Epics children of Initiatives?

I don't have a Premium Jira environment with Scriptrunner (at the moment) to do my own testing.

However I note from the Scriptrunner documentation that the parentsOf function is about finding parent issues for subtasks.

https://docs.adaptavist.com/sr4jc/latest/features/scriptrunner-enhanced-search/jql-functions#subtask-functions

If it was giving you results unrelated to subtasks previously, that may have been unintentional.

This may also have something to do with the roll out of the Parent field replacing Parent Link and Epic Link. Refer to

You may want to contact the ScriptRunner support team to find out if they have updated their app to accommodate the changes Atlassian has rolled out.
