How do I find Orphaned epics?

[Greg Camenzind]

I would like to find a JQL query that will identify "Orphaned" epics (i.e. epics that are NOT child issues of a Feature or Initiative.) in my project.

Is there something in the Jira documentation under Advanced JQL Searching that could help me with this?

Thanks!

I'm assuming your are using Advanced roadmaps as you are referring to items in the hierarchy above EPIC. That being the case you could use the JQL

issuetype = EPIC and "Parent Link" is EMPTY
