Filters - how can I get all the of my EPICs

[Patrick Moulène]

Hi,

Using a filter, i would like to have a listing of all the EPICs of a project in a certain status, with their childs.

Before, they were in the linked issues but they diseapered.

Any Help ?

Thank you

Hi @Patrick Moulène , welcome to the Atlassian Community and thanks for your question.

I think you will need to write a JQL query first to get the list of Epics and then put that list of issues into another query to get the whole picture. 

Type = Epic and project= pkey and status= status

Once you have the list of Epics, you would need another query like this

Parent in (list of Epics issue keys) or (type= Epic and project = pkey and status= status)

Please can you try this and see if it gets you what you want? 

If I've misunderstood or you have other questions, please just ask. 

Cheers

Hi @Patrick Moulène

welcome to the community! This is actually tricker than one would expect: As a hierarchical query, it would really require some kind of "join" or "subquery", which isn't available in plain Jira/JQL.

Stitching two queries together als mentioned by Valerie might indeed be the easiest for you. 

Alternatively, you could try one of the more hierarchy-focused apps from the Marketplace. These apps typically have their own ways of figuring out parent/child relationships between issues, and provide more powerful ways of searching through issue hierarchies. I myself work on such an app, in which your use case would be easy to solve - I'll provide more details below.

Best,

... and ust to expand on the last point: This is how this would look in the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira. Put simply, you'd create a sheet with all issues that are potentially relevant to you, enable the default issue hierarchy (that's just one click), and then use JXL filtering capabilities to narrow down to the issues that you care about:

Once you have your list of issues, you can work on these directly in JXL (much like you'd do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets), trigger various operations in Jira, or export them for further processing.

Any questions just let me know!
