Showing subtasks of a story/task that has an Epic, Without a add-on

Rick Schafer

I have an Epic XX-123 and i see the Stories and Tasks associated  to the Epic XX-123. I also want to see the subtasks for the Stories/Tasks that have that certain Epic XX-123.  I can't us an add-on and its not online version.

I am using a Kanban board that pulls the all Stories and Tasks, so the following works;

             type != Epic and "Epic Link" = XX-123 

Now I want to see the subtasks and i use;

               or issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes()

But this shows all subtasks that are and are not related to the EPIC XX-123

Hello Rick,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

I understand that you would like to return on your board query all the sub-tasks where their parent issues are linked to a specific Epic. Is that correct?

Unfortunately, it's not possible to do this kind of query natively on JIRA. An add-on must be required to perform a query based on a parent issue field.

I understand that you can't use add-ons as you mentioned before, however, here are the instructions using the add-on ScriptRunner, in case you reconsider this option:

issueFunction in subtasksOf(""epic link" = xx-123")

For more information about it, you can check the documentation below:
