JQL to Locate Sub-Tasks in a Parent Task for Dashboard in Jira

Rodrigo Xavier_5dax6g

Hello, everyone.

I am trying to find a way to locate all the sub-tasks of a specific "parent" task in Jira using JQL. I would like to create a JQL filter that allows me to view only these sub-tasks. This filter will be used for the creation of a dashboard.

Currently, I am using a JQL filter similar to the following for my queries:

project = "PROJECT_NAME" AND component in (Audit)) AND ((resolution = unresolved)) and summary ~ "SUMMARY"

I know it is possible to locate sub-tasks using plugins such as Advanced Roadmaps or ScriptRunner, which allow the use of the issueFunction clause in JQL. However, I currently do not have these plugins installed in my Jira instance.

Is there any other way to do this using only standard JQL, without the need for additional plugins? Any help or guidance would be very welcome.

Hello @Rodrigo Xavier 

Do you want to get subtasks for a single, explicitly identified parent issue? Do you have the issue key for that issue? If so, then you can get the subtasks using the JQL:

parent=<issue key>

If instead you want to use a query like the one you posted to dynamically get a list of parent issues, and then get all the subtasks for those, that will not be possible with only native Jira functionality.
