Filter by subtasks that belong to a specific epic and asignee - Team managed project

chernandez March 5, 2025

Hello, I'm working on a team-managed project. I'm trying to create a specific filter, but I'm not having any luck. I'd like to be able to filter subtasks that belong to a specific epic, ideally by assigned user. Is this possible? 

The goal is to create a dashboard that allows you to visualize the time spent by each user in each subtask belonging to a specific epic.

 

Thanks a lot.

Hi @chernandez

I'd probably start with a JQL query like: 

project = <project> AND parent = <parent-key> AND assignee = <assignee>

... where <parent-key> is the issue key of the epic that you're interested in.

Mind giving that a try? 

 Best,

Hannes

Just to expand on the above: JQL is generally very powerful, so you should be able to perform most if not all of your searches.

If you're looking for a more intuitive way of searching and filtering, there's a number of apps available on the Atlassian Marketplace that can help with that. E.g., this is how your search (if I understand it correctly) would look like in the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira:

For context, JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know!

Thanks for the response, the issue is that only epics are being displayed, not the subtasks. Users are loading time spent into the subtasks, so I need to see the time spent by epic and user, with each subtask associated and its time spent.
