This one is kinda driving me crazy. I want to search an epic and display all the tickets and subtickets inside of it. 

I can search "Epic Name" = "Renewal Blockers - Email" but when i switch to parentEpic = "Epic Name" i got invalid syntax errors. 

Is there something wrong with how I am using the parentEpic?

Can't find much details on this error but there are loads of threads advising to use this filter.

Hi @Jon Reafsnyder 

Please try using the Epic's Key value for searches with parentEpic, such as

parentEpic = myKey-123

Please look here for more information about parentEpic:

Best regards,

Thanks. That was it. I couldn't really tell it was specifying the link name vs actual label name.
