  • JQL: How can I search for the issues associated to a group of epics identified from a subquery?

For a Team-Managed Project, how can I make my story, subtasks also visible on the board?

In my team-managed project, when I'm creating sub-task under a story, those are not visible directly on the board. Is there any setting, which I'm missing. I have explored all possibilities.

Hi,

With standard JQL you can only execute your subquery, export the results and manually construct another JQL using the export epic issue keys. It works if it's just a one off job.

Standard JQL doesn't easily allow it but the results can be quickly found using our professional indexing service JQL Search Extensions.

You can find children of epics with the following extended JQL:

issue in childrenOfEpicsInQuery("status in (Groomed, 'Ready for Development')") 

Thanks,
Daniel

As a workaround we're using automation to add/remove a label to all issues in an epic when the epic changes status... Then I can search and setup boards using that label.

Not pretty but it works without extensions.

Found a solution:

issueFunction in issuesinEpics("type = epic AND project = XXXX AND status in (Groomed, \"Ready for Development\")")

Hi, I am looking for this too but get an error saying issueFunction does not exist. Are you using some plugin?
