In JQL searching parentEpic = WI-21 produces a list of all child work items and the epic I am searching for. The JQL parent = WI-21 only produces a list of the child items.
I created a new work item type on the same hierarchy level as Epic and I expected the same search results, but my new work item has changed the results when using parentEpic. The parentEpic query now only results in the issue I am searching for. parentEpic = WI-21 only results in W-21.
Can I make the new work item type work the same as the parentEpic search?
My current work around is "parent = WI-21 or key=W-21" to get the same result as "parentEpic = W-21" when the work item was an Epic.
