Epic links for identical epics

[nilanjenator]

I created two epics which are identical by mistake.  

I want to filter out the issues from one of the epics.  The problem is that the epic link is the same.  

How can I create a filter to not show the issues from one of the epics?

hi Nila! 

I imagine you don't have JIRA-ID of each of the epics, right? JIRA creates a unique ID for each new Epic created, independent if their summary are exactly the same

so, I suggest you to,

1. run a simple filter looking for any epic with some specific words you have added in the Epic summary, the outcome should list the 2 Epics you're looking for ... (something like --> summary ~ "module, project" order by created DESC) sometimes is easier if you add Project and any other information to constrain your search
2. run a simple filter to list all child(s) from the Epic you want to delete/turn obsolete, the outcome should bring the list of Tasks, and from there you can updated them manually to change the Epic link, of through a bulk update ... (something like --> issue in portfolioChildIssuesOf("add here the Epic ID of the parent") order by created DESC)

I have the epics.

My question is how to create a filter to display the child issues.  The only way I can see is to use the 'epic link' in the filter.  However, both epics show the same link.

I don't want to change the epic link in the child issues.  I just want to not display the child issues in one of the epics

2 different Epics cannot have the same JIRA ID (highlighted below)

 

from the answer above, run an initial filter to find out both JIRA IDs, and from them you can identify the child issues you want to have listed under one Epic but not under the other 

it might be the case, that you have only one Epic ... another way of trying to identify a duplicated creation is to run a quick query to identify all you created on a specific period of time ... (something like --> reporter in (username) AND created >= "2018-01-01" AND created <= "2018-12-31" order by created DESC)

Hi Joana,

Thanks for your responses.  I don't think your reply answers my question.

1. I know the duplicate epics.  I don't need help with that

2. I just need to create a filter to hide the issues from one of the epics.  The only way I see I can do that is to use the epiclink.  The problem is that the issues in both epics have the same link.

EPICA - IssueA1, IssueA2, IssueA3

EPICB - IssueB1, IssueB2, IssueB3, IssueB4

How do I create a filter to only show issues from EPICA?

Thanks,
