parent(JqlQuery)

[Marc Jason Mutuc]

issue in parent("assignee = currentUser")

I've been trying to use this but with a custom field. It keeps on returning an error:

“Invalid JQL Query in function: parent”

Is it impossible to use a custom field with this function?

What do you mean by "use with a custom field"?

Are you able to run this query in issue navigator?

When I use

issue in parent("*Customfield* is not empty") I get the error. It seems to be only working for system default fields.

[Jobin Kuruvilla [Adaptavist]]

It should work fine. Are you using the custom field name? If so, make sure to escape double quotes if there is space in the name. Something like:

issue in parent("\"Custom field\" is not empty")

If it still doesn't work, are there any error in the logs?

Thank you Jobin! It worked. I didn't use \" as the escape since it was indivated in the documentation to use *. Thank you very much for this!
