Question

Hey @Martin Vali

You'll need to have ScriptRunner installed:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Then open the "Enhanced Search" and write:
issueFunction in childrenOf("issuetype = "Improvement"")

This will return all work-items that have a parent = Improvement.

From there you can save the filter and call it in a regular JQL as "Filter = NAME"

Hope that helps.

Hello @Martin Vali ,

I'm Cristiano, with the Appfire Team,

Using a solution like our JQL Search Extension for Jira, you should be able to look for this with a simple query:

issue in childrenOfIssuesInQuery("project = X and issuetype=Improvement")

This would return all issues that have a parent 'Improvement'

You're also able to query for other hierarchy relations as well as linked issues, save the query as a filter to use in native JQL and so on.

Feel free to contact our support team if you have any doubts.
