Filter to see Epics that have an Issues assigned to me

Sydney Peason

Hello, I am looking for JQL which will show me "Epic" but only if there has been a child issue on that epic that has been assigned to me.

Ultimately, I am looking for a list of epics which I have worked on (even if I myself was never assigned the epic)

Thanks!

Hi @Sydney Peason 

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Out of the box, what you are asking for is a bit complex through normal JQL search. However, one saved filter and a dashboard gadget and you can get the results.

All I did was create a filter for all tickets assigned to me and made sure to designate they had to have a parent.

assignee = currentuser() and parent is not empty

Then, in my dashboard, I used an Issue Statistics gadget and chose the filter I just created as the source. Then I selected Parent as the statistic. This gives me the list of Epics I've contributed towards. It's a bit of a workaround but you can still get the data.

You can also see this data at any time when you save your filter. You just need to make sure the Parent column is present.
