Hello, I am trying to obtain issues from Epics with due date major to 20 days after or major that this, but the filter is applying the filter to the issue due date instead of the epic due date. Do you know a form to apply this search.

project in (POR22987) AND due >= -20d AND (issuetype = Milestone OR issuetype = Task) AND (Summary ~ "Development" OR Summary ~ UAT OR Summary ~ "Go Live") ORDER BY parent DESC
