How TO Filter by parent or epic to show all types of issues including subtasks in team-managed proj

Juan Luis Gil Avalos

Hi there,

I am trying to create my own filter to show all issues (all types bugs, tasks, etc..) childs of one epic in particular, but including also those subtasks that are "grandchilds" of that given epic.

How can I get it? I am just capable to show first level of childs for the given epic.

We are under a team-managed project of cloud Jira.

Thank you very much.

Hey @Juan Luis Gil Avalos

As far as I know, this is one of the Jira limitations. You may be interested in Smart Hierarchy for Jira - a free app that allows you to visualize your entire Jira issue structure in a clean, intuitive hierarchy – from initiatives and epics to subtasks, ensuring nothing is missed.

Hi @Juan Luis Gil Avalos ,

If you're open to exploring an app from the Atlassian Marketplace, our team developed Report Hub for Jira Cloud, which provides a straightforward solution. Specifically, the Roll-Up report clearly displays your entire issue hierarchy - including Epics, child issues, and subtasks at all levels - and sums up their estimates.

Hope this helps

Hi @Juan Luis Gil Avalos

Use the following JQL query to create a filter that displays all issues, including subtasks, linked to a specific epic.

JQL:

"Epic Link" = EPIC-KEY OR issuefunction in subtasksOf("'Epic Link' = EPIC-KEY")

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

To my knowledge, Jira doesn't allow nested search like "child issues of child issues". This limitation exists both for the search/filter and Issue View, where you can only one level down.

This is why many customers of Pivot Report we develop asked to provide Issue Level reporting for issue hierarchy. Here's what it looks like:

Basically, you can either see the full tree with customizable columns (roll ups are available too), or see just a list of aggregated progress indicators, also customizable.

Customization is super granular. You can define individual settings for any issue type per project:

Hi @Juan Luis Gil Avalos

Welcome to the community !!

If you are fine to explore a mktplace app to view Issue Hierarchy, I can suggest our app

Issue Hierarchy

The app also allows you to view your project issue hierarchy in a tree view. You can view %complete progress at each parent level. It roll ups the time tracking fields, story point or numeric fields at each parent level. The app can be added to a dashboard as well

Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira

Hi @Juan Luis Gil Avalos

welcome to the community!

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including the ability to view your issues in their default (i.e., epic/base-task/sub-task) hierarchy in just one click.

This is how it looks in action:

Once you've set up your hierarchy, you can easily narrow down your view to just one epic using JXL's searching and filtering capabilities.

I should also add JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable custom issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
