I want to filter only parent issues

Ken Jacobs March 12, 2018

I have several projects that have several issues but no sub tasks. I have one project with several sub tasks. I want to create a filter for my dashboard that shows all issues but NOT the subtasks.

Like:

Project A-show only parent issue on dashboard

Project B-show the multiple issues on dashboard

Project C-show the multiple issues on dashboard

Hey Ken,

 

You can do this with an advanced issue search (jql) “
issuetype not in subtaskIssueTypes()”

So you’ll want something along the lines of:

project in (“project a”,”project b”,”project c”) and issuetype not in subtaskissueTypes()

Thanks for the detail. :) I was hoping not to have to call out each project since they come and go.

I appreciate it!

Why not just try the below query which will shows all the parent issues and leaving all the subtasks

"issuetype not in subtaskissueTypes()"

 

I know its a verryyy late reply but might help others who are searching for answers :)
