I can't see Epic Names or Epic Links in a Filter View

[Carrie Markels]

I set up a Roadmap with a number of Epics.  Then, I added Issues under each Epic.  However, when I go to export the information in a Filter view, when I add Epic Name and Link columns, they all come up blank as if I haven't assigned the Issues to the Epics.  Looks like the linkage is only resident in the Roadmap and Backlog view (can't sort by Epic)...but not in Filters.

Help please.

[Joe VanDalsem]

This is killing me too.   They have Epic Link as a collum, but it doesn't display anything in that field.  

Atlassian has to fix this asap.   this is critical.

Seems like it should be available now,

It's there in the backlog, it's there on the board...  Why isn't it there in filter view? 

It seems to be fundamental to how next-gen project function really, doesn't make any sense why it wouldn't be in the filter view.  

Why no reply or help from Atlassian here?

Hello @Carrie Markels

Welcome to the community.

Currently it doesn't seem to be supported for the next-gen projects. May be someone from Atlassian can share more information as to when it will be available, so that users can see the "epic link" field for the corresponding stories in the issue navigator view.

[Aaron Cosentino]

Running into this issue as well. I hope this functionality can be added. It is vitally important from a reporting perspective to be able to filter and export issues based on Epic Link.

[Kai Jones]

Same issue for me too.  

[Stefan Grob]

Same to me, hope there will soon be a solutionl

[Katie]

Ran into the same issue. Please help.

[Mike Greenspan]

Is this being fixed?

[Rodrigo_Silveira]

Ditto, I'm quite interested in having access to Epic Link and Epic name in my Filters!

[Gordon Cabaniss]

Same here!  Dashboards gadgets are pretty much useless in the nexgen version for me thus far.

[Jovanka Cvejic]

Same here, still present in 2020.

But this answer fixed issue for me: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-Software-questions/Next-Gen-Story-and-Epic-Link/qaq-p/910068

[Kristine Castillo]

Solved my problem too. 

[kcakebread]

me too. 

[Rupesh Dubey]

I am having a similar issue as well. This is quite annoying. Has anyone found an alternative to solve this issue in the meantime

[Ry Van Veluwen]

Hey homies!

Had the same problem - hope they really start fixing that soon. In the meantime however! I've discovered a work-around.

You can go to your epic, then select the drop down on the top right to see "View in search" which will give you an issues list filtered by the specific task names (But the same kinda output you would want)

I've redacted the sensitive stuff but see below:Hope this helps!

[Carrie Markels]

Thank you Ry.  It may help some of us.  I still need to see Epics against the whole open backlog for planning sessions.

[Freya Käbel]

I have no possibility to filter by child issues... how can that be?

[Harald Rätscher]

Same for me, epic-link, epic-name, parent-link are all blank. :-(

[Chris Childs]

Same here, bug for over a Year now!!

[emily.daye]

Having the same issue - hoping to have a way to fix this soon!

[William Siemons]

This request fix a BUG in core functionality is pretty overdue.
The fields are there, but they are empty.

What surprises me is that this really should not be a big thing to resolve, yet it is open for more than half a year. Are Atlassian even looking into this?????

[Brian_Vaio]

Ran into this same problem as well. Hoping for a fix soon!

[Anthony Brittis]

Hi.  This is a critical issue for me too.  Ry's workaround doesn't really do what I need.  All that does is take all the task keys and put them into a filter's "In" clause.

[Jordan Sucher]

Running into the same issue - hoping this is made possible soon

[Kobi Jacobson]

same here. Please fix ASAP!!!!

[Antony Fulcher]

Has a solution been found for this?

@Carrie Markels , Epics have a "Parent" relationship with their assigned tickets, the same is valid for "Stories" with "sub-tasks" within.

If you don't use subtask, every "Parent" in your tickets will be a Epic.

If you use sub-tasks, you can query all tickets that have as parents any of the Epic on a list you will need to provide.

I just realized @Georgios_Gkinis proposed the same solution in https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Next-gen-questions/I-can-t-see-Epic-Names-or-Epic-Links-in-a-Filter-View/qaq-p/939803#M3670

[Georgios_Gkinis]

kcakebread Maybe choose "Parent"?

[Georgios_Gkinis]

Also for JQL to return Items under an Epic you need the Epic ticket name.

My Epic item name is MP-3:

Project="MyProject" AND parent="MP-3"

[Irem Tunalier]

Yes, this is the solution. Thanks. 

[Chase_Brantley]

Does anyone know if this has been resolved? "Epic Name" is still blank. In issue navigator I am trying to pull a excel report but Epic Name is blank even though all my tasks or bugs have been linked to Epics.

[kcakebread]

I am still using Parent instead of Epic Name to get around this.

[Chase_Brantley]

Unfortunately that field is blank as well. I am trying to filter all the issues for my board but when I export the report Epic Name and Parent are both blank. All I want to do is pull a report of all stories, tasks, sub-tasks and bugs with the correlating Epic.. 

[kcakebread]

the stories must be linked as child issues. when you view the epic, do you see the child issues? Using the child issue button as shown below? It won't work if you just link them with the link icon.

[Chase_Brantley]

My issues have all been added to the Epic.

[kcakebread]

does the parent field get populated in a filter? 

[Chase_Brantley]

No, neither does Epic Name

[kcakebread]

interesting. my filters don't show the epic link. but it looks like your epic link is the same as what would be in epic name, isn't it? that makes me wonder we are using different templates, and the issue is with a template.

[Chase_Brantley]

Yeah, so my issue is that when I pull a report as either .csv or .xls I only get the identifier i.e. ZB-22 and not the actual Epic Name. Do you know how I can change the template to display a name instead of the identifier?
