JQL - Filter to show all epics in your project that do not contain at least one issue. Any suggestions?

Hi @amy schneider 

Try using the below query:

project = <Project_name> AND issuetype= Epic and issueLinkType is EMPTY

Hi Amy,

There are multiple ways of doing this.

In my experience, I make use of issuefunction option, however, this will work if you have scriptrunner functionality 

I can also see a similar thread already, sharing for reference, hope this helps

Welcome to the community @amy schneider ,

Regarding your query, I am afraid , you might need a third party plugin to achieve your goal.

Famous one's are 

• JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports
• Script Runner 

below is the example of JQL Search Extensions for Jira & repo

following query will return all epics which have no child issues.

issuesInEpicCount <1
