Count of SubTasks in JQL

Maarten Cautreels

We are trying to filter all Stories (type = Story) with no subtasks. Those stories need extra time to define before we can start working on them. I'm looking for a way to create a field with the number of subtasks for a certain task (Epic, Story, ...).

Is this possible? Does this already exist?

Thanks in advance,

Maarten Cautreels

Otherwise our famous Script Runner would have helped you to write a simple scripted field.

Indeed! It could also be done with the jql functions in script runner:

issuetype = "Story" and issueFunction not in hasSubtasks()

Thanks for the answers. I hope something gets implemented in the future. Or the Script Runner should become available on OnDemand instances!

This does not work. It is showing all stories with subtasks and no sub-tasks together

Sorry for necro'ing a old thread, was following a link from another issue. But the information is relevant now if someone finds this via search.

What you can do, is add a post function to the subtask creation to update a value on the parent ticket. JSU can do this and is available cloud.

Have a field called "Subtask Present" that is normally empty. Add a post function to the subtask create to set the parent "Subtask Present" field to "True"

Bet you could also do something with Automation for Jira. (also in cloud) Again, on subtask creation.

Actually, you could even do it on a scheduled basis to catch your existing ones. They have a related condition "if subtasks are present". So this would be trivial.

Making it give you a count might be a little trickier, (Doing some math with "smart values" maybe, but not sure its possible) but setting a fixed true/false value is easy
