issueFunction in issuesInEpics to list more than 1 level

Question

Hi,

I have the situation where I have EPIC's, Features and Stories. The Stories are linked to Features as child-parent (Story has its parent link to the corresponding Feature). The Features has Epic link to the epic.

What I want to do is to list all Feature and Story under the epic on a KanBan board.

Till now we used the structure without Feature layer: Stories were linket directly to the Epics and the Kanban board had the following filter:

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("filter='Cable active business epic'") OR filter = "Cable active business epic" ORDER BY Rank ASC

The "Cable active business epic" was a filter that excluding the Epics that are in "Done", "Hold", "On market" etc phases.

I created Features and started to delet the epic links from the Stories (and link them to the Features as child - parent).

But in this scenario only the Features are visible on the KanBan board, and the Stories below are not.

How could I resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

In the link you copied I read the following regarding portfolioChildrenOf:

This function does not bridge the gap from Epic to Story,

I tried this as well:

issueFunction in portfolioChildrenOf("filter='Cable active business epic'") OR filter = "Cable active business epic" ORDER BY Rank ASC

It at least resulted something without error. But list only the epics so nothing from below the epics.

Thanks for your answer! I did not know if we use ScriptRunner, I will ask an admin but I see that, the Jira knows the portfolioChildrenOf and offer it when I start typing. Also it is not running on error due to unknown script but rather my subquery, filtering is not ok.

So probably it will work but I cannot parameter it correctly.

At the moment I am using this:

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("filter='Cable active business epic'") OR filter = "Cable active business epic" ORDER BY Rank ASC

And first tried this:

issueFunction in portfolioChildrenOf("filter='Cable active business epic'")

But simply not finding anything. No error message.
