JQL experts - how can I get a list of issues under an initiative?

Kat Warner

*Scenario:* I have an initiative with 5 epics and a bunch of issues under each epic.

Is there any way I can use JQL to get a list of issues where the epic link of the issues is linked to a specific initiative?

Right now I am typing out the keys for all of the epics but it is always nice when there is a faster way.

hi @Kat Warner,

This is possible since portfolio 2.10.

issuekey in childIssuesOf("<Issue key>")

Reference:

Portfolio for Jira 2.10 release notes

Hope this helps!

And for those of us on cloud, where the above childIssuesOf function does not work...

issuekey in portfolioChildIssuesOf("<issuekey>")

That will return all issues that parent back to the initiative issue key listed. YEAH!

Hi ,

issuekey in childIssuesOf("<Issue key1>" , "<Issue key2>")

Gives me an error "Function 'childIssuesOf' expected '1' arguments but received '2'." because the function wont take more than one argument. So how can i solve this.

Thanks for adding the Jira Cloud version.

thanks a lot but I have got a couple more questions:

1- I cannot find the reverse function, ie. something called "portfolioParentIssuesOf(""), does it exist? How can we obtain the same effect if it does not?

2- does the portfolioChildIssueOf accept a subquery as argument?

would greatly appreciate any answer.

Abel Lineberger

1 - A given issue can only have a singular parent - thus no function to search.

2 - no idea.
