I can't see Epic Names or Epic Links in a Filter View

Carrie Markels

I set up a Roadmap with a number of Epics. Then, I added Issues under each Epic. However, when I go to export the information in a Filter view, when I add Epic Name and Link columns, they all come up blank as if I haven't assigned the Issues to the Epics. Looks like the linkage is only resident in the Roadmap and Backlog view (can't sort by Epic)...but not in Filters.

Help please.

Hello @Carrie Markels

Welcome to the community.

Currently it doesn't seem to be supported for the next-gen projects. May be someone from Atlassian can share more information as to when it will be available, so that users can see the "epic link" field for the corresponding stories in the issue navigator view.

Aaron Cosentino

Running into this issue as well. I hope this functionality can be added. It is vitally important from a reporting perspective to be able to filter and export issues based on Epic Link.

Mike Greenspan

Is this being fixed?

Rodrigo_Silveira_rz3z9i

Ditto, I'm quite interested in having access to Epic Link and Epic name in my Filters!

Gordon Cabaniss

Same here! Dashboards gadgets are pretty much useless in the nexgen version for me thus far.

Jordan Sucher

Running into the same issue - hoping this is made possible soon

Ry Van Veluwen

Hey homies!

Had the same problem - hope they really start fixing that soon. In the meantime however! I've discovered a work-around.

You can go to your epic, then select the drop down on the top right to see "View in search" which will give you an issues list filtered by the specific task names (But the same kinda output you would want)

I've redacted the sensitive stuff but see below:Hope this helps!

Carrie Markels

Thank you Ry. It may help some of us. I still need to see Epics against the whole open backlog for planning sessions.

Joe VanDalsem

This is killing me too. They have Epic Link as a collum, but it doesn't display anything in that field.

Atlassian has to fix this asap. this is critical.

Seems like it should be available now,

It's there in the backlog, it's there on the board... Why isn't it there in filter view?

It seems to be fundamental to how next-gen project function really, doesn't make any sense why it wouldn't be in the filter view.

Why no reply or help from Atlassian here?

Kobi Jacobson

same here. Please fix ASAP!!!!

Anthony Brittis

Hi. This is a critical issue for me too. Ry's workaround doesn't really do what I need. All that does is take all the task keys and put them into a filter's "In" clause.

Brian_Vaio

Ran into this same problem as well. Hoping for a fix soon!

William Siemons

This request fix a BUG in core functionality is pretty overdue.
The fields are there, but they are empty.

What surprises me is that this really should not be a big thing to resolve, yet it is open for more than half a year. Are Atlassian even looking into this?????

Katie_c5sui3

Ran into the same issue. Please help.

Rupesh Dubey_xujxlb

I am having a similar issue as well. This is quite annoying. Has anyone found an alternative to solve this issue in the meantime

emily.daye

Having the same issue - hoping to have a way to fix this soon!

Chris Childs_ckietf

Same here, bug for over a Year now!!

Freya Käbel

I have no possibility to filter by child issues... how can that be?

Jovanka Cvejic

Same here, still present in 2020.

But this answer fixed issue for me: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Next-Gen-Story-and-Epic-Link/qaq-p/910068

Kristine Castillo

Solved my problem too.

kcakebread

me too.

Chase_Brantley

Does anyone know if this has been resolved? "Epic Name" is still blank. In issue navigator I am trying to pull a excel report but Epic Name is blank even though all my tasks or bugs have been linked to Epics.

kcakebread

I am still using Parent instead of Epic Name to get around this.

Chase_Brantley

Unfortunately that field is blank as well. I am trying to filter all the issues for my board but when I export the report Epic Name and Parent are both blank. All I want to do is pull a report of all stories, tasks, sub-tasks and bugs with the correlating Epic..

kcakebread

the stories must be linked as child issues. when you view the epic, do you see the child issues? Using the child issue button as shown below? It won't work if you just link them with the link icon.
