How to retrieve Epic Key, from epics not alocated in my Project area?

[erika assis]

Hi comunity!

So I have some Issues linked to epics managed by other project area.. When I retrieve the epics being worked in my PA, I only get those under my project, in other hand, when I retrieve the full set of stories with Epic Link, I get the Epic Summary, but not the epic key and other informations.... There is a way for me to get all the info about the epics linked to my issues without having to declare the epic key in the query?

Hello Erika,

Welcome to the community!

I would like to help you with your question but I'm afraid that I  did not get what you are looking for.

If I did not understand wrong, you are having issues to create a JQL query, can you please clarify with an example (maybe with a screenshot) ?

Hi Italo, I can't give you the screenshot but imagine that I would like to have a query like :

Project = " my project" and issuetype = epic

And I would Wich that the result would show me, besides my own epics, the epics from other projects, linked to stories in my project. Infos like : project, key, sprints, original estimate etc

Ok! I see that you have marked my first comment as the accepted answer, I think you should mark the comment that resolve your issue with that label;

I did a quick research and it seems that you have 2 options and I'm assuming you are using Cloud since you tagged this as cloud:

1 - You can use parentEpic() JQL keyword which is available in JIRA Cloud (https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRACLOUD-59181)  

So your JQL would be something like:

Project = " my project" and issuetype = epic or parentEpic(StoryKey-1,StoryKey-2.....)

https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/advanced-search-reference-jql-functions/#Advancedsearching-functionsreference-parentepicparentEpic()

2- You can use Scriptrunner app that would allow you to boost your queries see 

https://scriptrunner-docs.connect.adaptavist.com/jiracloud/enhanced-search.html#_epicsof

Using their "Enhanced Search" (this is where you would build the JQL using the app)

project = <ProjectKeyHere> and issuetype = Epic or (issueFunction in epicsOf("project = <ProjectKeyHere>")

 I don't see any other way using the default JQL to achieve what you are looking for and probably there are other tools like Scriptrunner available but this was the first that I could remember now.
