JQL: Search for all issues without associated epics

[Emanuel Braga]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a filter that returns all the issues with no epic associated.

I've searched and tried '"Epic Link" = EMPTY order by created DESC' but it does not return any results, wich is not correct because there are many issues without an associated epic .

I don't know if it is relevant but I'm using only next-gen projects.

Thanks in advance!

In next-gen projects it's the parent field that points to the epic.  This returns the issues without epics:

parent is empty

It works! Thanks a lot!

This does not work for me. Included in the results are many items that do have an epic.

Well for Classic it would be Epic Link is Empty. But for NG you can’t use that as the epic link is empty for all issues. Odd I know. They are working on a solution last time I checked.

Thanks! NG projects are good but it seems that are far from being completed. It's a pity.

We will have to wait for the solution....
