Filter sub tasks by issue type "Epic"

Question

Hi

I need to create a filter where I can sort all tasks that are not

* Epics
* Linked to an Epic as a task (not issue to issue link but set as a task under Epic"
* Are subtasks of Epics
* Are subtasks of parent tasks that are linked to an Epic

I only have come this far:

issuetype != Epic AND "Epic Link" = EMPTY

All help is welcomed :)

Yeah, I thought about that too but this will not work for me- it's an extra move that EVERYONE has to REMEMBER all the time. It'll never work out.

Any other ideas? Or is it really a feature request?

Hi! Yes, there's a workaround. You should link all the epics to an issue () and tell everyone they need to link all their new epics to this issue. After that you can use: parent not in linkedIssues()

Hi

Thank you for your suggestions.

Regarding this part:

parent not in (<ID1, <ID2>, …)

This solution unfortunately is not suitable because there will be many different Epics which I can't control and therefor the script should be dynamical- it should be able to filter by issue type "Epic" not by single ID (or multiple ID-s).

Any ideas?
