JiraRestClient Search Not Working for JQL Query with Epic Link

[Abel Ubilla]

Hi,

I'm querying the Jira REST API and I'm not able to get the children of an Epic Link.

I want to list all fields of all issues that are children of a Project that's marked as an Epic with the following query:

https://jira.myowndomain.com/rest/api/2/search?fields=*all&maxResults=999&jql=project%20=%20BI%20cf[10508]%20in%20('PRJ-900')

In my case, Epic Link is the custom field 10508, and I can query with this cf on the Jira UI with my personal account. When I try to do the same with a different account that was set with readonly permissions to use the API, I get the following:

"No issues have a parent epic with key or name 'PRJ-900'"

I've seen a similar issue here and I tried checking what permissions this read only user has by calling: 

com.atlassian.jira.rest.client.api.MyPermissionsRestClient.getMyPermissions()

My implementation looks like this:

MyJiraRestClient myJiraRestClient = new MyJiraRestClient();
MyPermissionsInput myPer = new MyPermissionsInput(null, null, "PRJ-900", null);
Promise<Permissions> permission = myJiraRestClient.getMyPermissionsRestClient().getMyPermissions(myPer);

And the response I got was:
