How do I make a filter that contains all children of an Initiative?

[Max Boerma]

For our upcoming Roadmap we've decided on a top 5 initiatives and I want to make a plan with only those in it. Because of that I want to create a filter that will contain these Initiatives and all it's children and use it as the source. I haven't found a way to do this yet.

I've tried doing it with parent, but then I'll only get the Epics for a certain Initiative, but I also want to get the User Stories and potential tasks.

Hi Max,

Use parent link = [key of your initiative, ie XYZ-10] to get the children of your initiative.

I'm structure with an Epic with 80 stories under it. I'm trying to get all the subtasks under each story in a query. Seems similar to the fact that you can't get the total 'Original Estimate' or 'Time Spent' for the entire Epic.

You an also release the majority of initiatives and then filter the correct release in your plan.
