How to get stories assigned to an epic while the epic is linked to a specific Task

Sabine Rommel

Hi all,

because we are lacking a higher level than the epic we introduced the issue type "feature". A "feature" can have 1 to n epics, while an epic can have 1 to n stories. What I am now struggling with is to get all stories where the epic is linked to a specific feature. I thought of a nested jql query but this is not really working. Something like that

"Epic Link" in ("issue in linkedIssues(PLS-1)") -> "PLS-1" is the "key" of the "feature"

would be very cool, but unfortunately this is not working. Any ideas how I can solve this? Many thanks in advance.

Best Sabine

Hello,

You could use the Power Scripts add-on:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/43318/power-scripts-jira-script-automation?hosting=cloud&tab=overview

Your JQL query would look like this:

 key in issueInEpics("key in issuesLinkedAtDepth(\"key = PLS-1\", \"LinkType\")")

Sabine,

I am going to assume based on your question that you have ScriptRunner installed. That being the case you can perform a recursive JQL query to pull the entire hierarchy. To use ScriptRunner to pull this off use this command:

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfRecursive("Issue = PLS-1")

Now this will recursively traverse all the way down the hierarchy from PLS-1 grabbing all of the Epics linked to the Feature and all of the Stories linked to the Epic then all of the Sub-Tasks linked to each Story. If you wish to limit the depth you can also use the linkedIssueOfRecursiveLimited command.

Sabine,

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfRecursive("Issue = PLS-1")

Sabine,

Alexey's solution/answer is far better though.
