Advanced FILTER - Help

[Fredrich Pekár]

Hello,

I’ve a question regarding “how to create this specific filter” which I tried to create a long time… maybe someone here have done it previously and can give me a helping hand ☺️

I want to create a filter giving me all the tasks for a epic assigned to the current user. OBS, the tasks can be assigned to different resources, only the epic shall be assigned to only the current user.

Hi @Fredrich Pekár 

Your questing is a bit vague, in the sense that you don't define if that epic is specific, or if you want to find all epics and their tasks. I would go with the latter statement and write something like the following:

project = YOUR_PROJECT AND assignee in (currentUser()) AND issuetype in standardIssueTypes() and "Epic Link" = YOUR_EPIC_NAME

The above filter will yield only standard issue types located within your epic.

Is this what you were looking for?

Hello Alex, thanks for the answer! Something like that, yes! But would like to have the parameters “any epic assigned to me within any project” 

is that possible?

So what is the main question we are trying to solve here is "I want to get all standard issue types, to all epics I'm the current assignee"?

Is there a possibility where are issues assigned to a user, and the do not belong to an epic and these issues you don't want them to be displayed?

[Fredrich Pekár]

Yeah, thats correct! 

All results shall be a part of any epic... tasks assigned without an epic is not relevant.

The following JQL will yield the above statement.

assignee in (currentUser()) and "Epic Link" is not EMPTY

Keep in mind that you will only have standard issue types, and not subtasks. Subtasks do not inherit the epic link. If you want to make this work, then you have to modify the subtask's workflow, and copy the epic link from the parent upon creation.
