How to display subtasks when searching for a specific epic link

[Karl-Wilhelm Gerarts]

Hello!

I want to display all tasks referencing a specific epic link. Because subtasks don't have an own epic link they will not occur in the search result. 

Is it possible to reference the subtasks "parent" and query for its epic link?

Or is there alternative way to query for all task and subtask referencing an epic link direct or indirect?

Thank you for help,

Karl

Hello,

You would need a plugin for it. For example, you could use the JQL Search Extensions for Jira plugin:

The JQL query would look like this:

issue in subtaskOf("\"Epic Link\" = epiclink")
