Extract all stories under a newly created top level issue type above Jira's Epic Issue type

[srmrunner]

I've created a new issue type called Epic and re-named Jira's issuetype called Epic to Feature, so I can have the traditional Epic/Feature/Story hierarchy found in SAFe.  I'm trying to write a jquery to extract all the stories under a specific Epic.  Has anyone done this before?

Hi @srmrunner 

This should work:

issue in portfolioChildIssuesOf("ABC-1")

^ ABC-1 would be your issue key. You could limit it to just stories also:

issue in portfolioChildIssuesOf("ABC-1") and issuetype = Story

Hello @srmrunner 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Refer to this documentation:

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/search-for-advanced-roadmaps-custom-fields-in-jql/

You can use the portfolioChildIssuesOf() function.
