How to create filter for all stories and epics related to a certain epic?

Question

Given:

* JIRA v7.4.2
* JQL tricks plugin

(ScriptRunner is unfortunately not an option)

--

Example:

* I have an epic (1)
* with several stories (10)
* and subtasks under those stories (each 10)

Goal:

I want to create an filter showing all subtasks which belong to the epic and now want to filter for the 100 subtasks in total which belong to that certain epic.

It´s needed for a reporting board etc.

Unfortunately, I just don´t get the right JQL trick formula - could somebody help please?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

You can do something simple like:

issue in parent("'Epic Link' = XYZ")

where XYZ is the Epic key.

You can also use complex queries inside the parent function if you want to get results for Epics matching a certain criteria.
