Filter Issues across projects assigned to Epics in one project

[Steve_G]

I have Epics in a primary project with assigned Stories across multiple projects. How can create a filter that results in all of the primary project's Epics and the associated stories. I do not want to include any stories outside of the primary project that are not associated with the primary project's Epics.

If you don't have access to JQL-extending third party apps, the only way to do this is to explicitly list the Epic issue keys, thus

(project = X and issuetype=Epic) or (project in (x, y, z) and "Epic Link" in (<epicIssueKey1>, <epicIssuekey2>))

Thanks for the quick response Trudy. That's what I thought. I was hoping to replace the explicit list of Epics with an embed query, but that doesn't seem possible either.

You can, if you are interested in subscribing to a third party app that will extend the JQL functionality.
