Can you please guide me on how to get a filter to show how many issues I have per epic?

Hi @Alvaro Flores Tafur,

A JQL like this will return all the issue from an epic (DEMO-1), including sub-tasks.

parentEpic IN (DEMO-1)

Hope this helps.

Welcome to community.

I am hoping you know how to write JQL to search for issues. If not, please start there.

Now to get you the count of issues per epic, its a reporting ask. Its not possible directly through filter, instead you have to use what Jira calls a gadget on your dashboard or confluence.

So steps are:

* First, You write your JQL for issues in question. Then you save that filter.
* Then in your Jira, create a dashboard, add gadget, use  a1 or 2 dimensional statistics gadget and group by epic link and count by issues.

This gadget can be put on your Jira dashboard or confluence.

Please try and Let community know if you run into issues.
