JQL to return a list of issues where all sub-tasks within are the issue are all closed or canceled

Fatima Bernardo November 13, 2020

I am a newbie at JQL and ask the community for help to come up with a query that returns a list of issues (in my cases Tasks) where the Tasks have sub-tasks within, but all of these sub-tasks are closed or cancelled (i.e. there's no open tasks that require attention).

Any advise?

Hi, @Fatima Bernardo !

As I know Jira doesn't have out-of-box JQL-funtion for your case. 

I checked the Atlassian's docs about Advanced searching

But you can get it from apps:

  1. Scriptrunner
    Documentation link.
    issuetype = Task and statuscategory not in ("Done") and issueFunction in parentsOf("project = JRA and statuscategory in ("Done")
  2. JQL Search Extentions - 
    Documentation link.
    issuetype = Task and statuscategory not in ("Done") and issue in subTaskStatusCategory("Done")
