The JQL functions parentIssuesFromQuery() and parentIssuesFromFilter() do not return results

Question

The JQL functions parentIssuesFromQuery() and parentIssuesFromFilter() do not return results.

Below is how I am trying them:

issue in parentIssuesFromQuery("project = PXP AND issuetype = Story")

When I try a new search with the query string "project = PXP AND issuetype = Story", it returns results.

The same with the function parentIssuesFromFilter(). I use the named filter as parameter.

I'm thinking the only true parents you have are probably epics, so use the EpicsOf function.

Hi @Craig Nodwell , thanks for the quick response.

Is there a similar function or query using which we can find the parent or child tickets of all IDs returned by a saved filter?
