JQL query field in list of values from another query

Question

Hi all,

in Jira Cloud I'd like to perform a query to list all issues that are linked an Epic from a list of epics that have a filed with a particular value (Account = "some value").

My final expression should be something like this:

parentEpic in (<epics that have Account = "some value">)

Is there a way to do so?

Thanks

Hi Paolo,

You can use JQL Search Extensions with its subquery keywords. for example epicOfQuery.

Hello Paolo,

There's no way to do it natively with JIRA Cloud, however, you can use the add-on Scriptrunner which provide you the issuefunction parameter, so you can configure a Script like the one below to return the issues you need:

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf(“issuetype = Epic and status = Open")

Also, Atlassian has a feature request opened to implement this kind of functionality on JQL:

Please, feel free to vote and watch it for new updates.
