Escape search query string in JQL

Question

Hello,
I want to use filter functions inside of other filter functions. This example below worked for me, but I can use only up to 3 levels because I do not have more that 3 possiblities to escape text sequences. This order worked: " before ' before \"

for exaple this jql pseudo query:

filterfunction1( "
  filterfunction2( '
    filterfunction3( \" ...
\")
')
" )

I know that saving the filter works, but I want to use 4 filterstrings. How do I escape it properly in jql? Thank you

I have this structure:

Change Request - Project Feature - Epic - Story

Now I need to find out all Stories that belong to a list of specific Change requests with filter

This was only possible with a number of nested issueFunction

Can you give an example of actual query you are trying to achieve? Maybe there is better way than infinity nesting.
