Query to pull User Stories with Sub-tasks status

bravedj October 7, 2020

Greetings all!

Need some more help plz. I am trying to get the list of User Stories with "Sub-tasks status in (Done, Cancelled)". So it should pull only the count of User stories where the sub-tasks status in either Done or Cancelled.

am using below query, but doesn't pull anything.

project = JIRA AND "Epic Link" = JIRA-1 and issuetype = story and issueFunction in hasSubtasks() and (issueFunction in subtasksOf("status in (Done, Cancelled)"))

can you please help?

@bravedj  , if you are interested on returning the stories only, then you should use parentsOf instead of subtasksOf

That would return the parents (i.e., stories) where the subtasks are in the given status

In Jira cloud, the following is available without Scriptrunner:

  • Find issues and sub-tasks in the epic DEMO-123:
    parentEpic = DEMO 123
  • Find issues and sub-tasks in the epic DEMO-1 or SAMPLE-4:
    parentEpic in (DEMO-1, SAMPLE-4)
