I would like to create a list with issues and their siblings. How do I write the query?
I have tried PARENT=issueID, but I can't get it to work.

I would like some thing similar to:

Parent_Issue-XYZ

 Child_issue-AAA
 Child_issue-BBB
 Child_issue-CCC

Parent_Issue-KLM

 Child_Issue-EEE
 Child_Issue-FFF
...

Hi @Magnus Edlund,

If you are fine with a marketplace app, we have created an app to view your sibling issues and their description without loading the entire parent nor using the filter.

It is really a straight forward app which adds a new Other subtasks panel with descriptions.

Hi @Magnus Edlund ,

 

If you have the scriptrunner plugin, you can do something like this:

issueFunction in subtasksOf("issuekey = {{your ticket's parent key}}")

It looks like you want to search EPIC with their child stories and their child sub tasks. 

 

You can use following query to get the results by using the plugin : JQL Search Extensions for Jira & reports

 

 after installing the above plugin , please use following query it will return you all parents with their child's.

 

issue in allIssuesInEpic(your parent issue id's which is epic id)
for example

issue in allIssuesInEpic(epic-12, epic-13)

it will return all issues belongs to epic id 12 and 13

 

you can find more documentation here

Hi @Magnus Edlund - The parent field is for sub-tasks of an issue.  If the Parent_Issue-XYZ is an Epic issue type and the children are part of that Epic then you would use the Epic Link field.  If they are related by a standard Issue Link then you would use LinkedIssues().  

Hope this helps.
