JQL: Search for all issues without associated epics

Emanuel Braga_fybycp

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

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....

It works! Thanks a lot!

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

To get a list of just the tickets without epics, I added "AND type not in (Epic), otherwise I got all the tickets without Epics along with all the Epic tickets.

parent is EMPTY AND type not in (Epic)

Epiclink=null works for me.

None of the above worked. This is what worked for me:

"Epic Link" is EMPTY and type not in (Epic, Subtask, Sub-task)

how can i filter the tasks in an epic that do not have an epic link?

I have tried with this JQL but it doesn't give me results.

project = "BSAN Implantacion SIREC 20223.1" and "Epic Link" is EMPTY and issuetype =Task AND "Epic Name" ~ "Fase de Despligue"

On our Jira (v8.20.10) it had been renamed "Epic Link" as Siddharth mentioned, but the 'is' did not work, so my final search was:

project = <MYPROJECTNAMEHERE> AND type = Story AND "Epic Link" = EMPTY

Worked for me

The best I explored is: 

"Epic Link" = EMPTY AND type != Epic
