How to find all issues on any level under a certain feature

Question

I want to create a dashboard for a specific feature, but in order to do that I need to be able to find all issues under a specific feature, regardless of their type and their depth.

Also, as a bonus, how to you query if there are no child issues on an issue? (That way I can get all end nodes).

Hello @Inger Marie Jakobsen

As per this document:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-for-advanced-roadmaps-custom-fields-in-jql/

... you can use this JQL:

issuekey in portfolioChildIssuesOf("INIT-001")

Where INIT-001 is the issue key for the Feature. That will give you all the Epics, children of the Epics, and sub-tasks of the child issues, under the specified feature.

Thanks,

I cannot see the subscription data from my user, but my boss says at least premium because we have the planning module.

Above Epics, I have an issue type called Feature.

I do not know, if this is out-of-the-box-jira or just company-wide customization.

But I have at least:
- Feature - Epic - (Story, Task, Bug) - Subtask level issues.

And I would like to be able to list all issues under a certain feature.

Hello @Inger Marie Jakobsen

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The tags on your post indicate you are using the Standard subscription of Jira. In that subscription the default issue type hierarchy is just three layers:

Epic
|-- standard level issues (i.e. Story, Task, Bug)
    |-- subtask level issues

So, my first question is can you please confirm that you are using the Standard subscription, and not the Premium subscription?

If you are indeed using the Standard subscription, can you confirm that your Issue Type Hierarchy is just the three default layers?

Also, when you say "Feature" do you mean that you have renamed the built in issue type Epic to be "Feature"?
