Hello all,
I have a list of Program Epics and I need to find out which Epics do not have a linkage ("is a child of" linkage) to any of those Program Epics. My company only allows native JQL.
So basically it should look something like this:
issuetype = Epic AND linkedIssuesOf in (ProgramEpic1, ProgramEpic2, ...)
The linkedIssuesOf field does not work, does anyone know how I can search for that with native JQL?

Hi @Andreas Stoffel, Welcome to the Atlassian Community!
Sometimes, a problem is best approached from a different angle. You can turn your question around by tagging issues that have a parent link to your known ProgramEpics.
'parent link' in (ProgramEpic1, ProgramEpic2, ...)
Hope this finds you all your important children-epics,

By voting for helpful posts and marking answers to your question, you're helping people with similar questions find a solution more quickly. Sharing is caring applies to knowledge as well :)
Jira's native JQL doesn't support querying issue links like "is child of" without third-party add-ons like ScriptRunner.
You can use custom fields or labels as a workaround to identify Program Epics and their linked Epics. To do this, start by tagging child Epics with a specific label, such as "ChildOfProgramEpic", if they aren't already tagged.
Then, use the following JQL query to find Epics not linked to Program Epics: "issuetype = Epic AND labels != ChildOfProgramEpic".
This query will return a list of Epics without the label indicating a link to a Program Epic
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

As @Humashankar VJ indicates: tag the issue once:
But you need to give your users a complete solution, so deal with:
You might also want to run an initial script that tackles labelling the epics already attached to a programepic.
All in all, you would be quite busy testing this, but once it works, people will adore you :)
Happy automating
