How do I write a Rich Filter that returns those simple values PLUS values from Linked cards?

Question

Creating a dashboard --> filter is where issuetype = EPIC and component = ABCD.

My view on the dashboard will show the card numbers that are in the "Links" field of the Epics returned from the above query.

But I want to see on the dashboard all of those cards PLUS the date values from the cards that are linked via the "Links" field.

I am not very proficient in JQL and cannot figure out how to bring back those date field values.

A filter returns a list of issues (cards, stories, tickets, etc). An empty filter returns every issue in the database that you have permission to see. Adding a criteria (e.g., issuetype = Epic) says, "Reduce (filter) the issues to only those that are Epics." Adding the next criteria (component = ABCD) says "Further reduce (filter) the issues to only those that have Component ABCD." It is important to keep in mind that a filter returns a list of tickets that match your criteria.

That explains why you can only show the values that are on the issues that are returned. The dates that you want to show are values on the linked issues, which are not being returned in the JQL. You are only seeing the keys of the linked issues because they are values on the returned issue.

If you want to see the values on the linked issues, then you need those issues to be returned in your JQL along with the original issues. That probably isn't what you are looking for, but there is no way to show the values on issues that are linked to the issue that your filter returns.
