How to select all task types(Story, Bug, Task, Improvement, not sub-tasks) in general using JQL ?

[Sanjog Sigdel]

I can filter tickets based on their issuetype with query like:

issuetype in(Story, Bug, Task, Improvement) when I want to filter tickets. I can do the same to list out sub-tasks.

Is there a generic way to selects all standard tasks but not sub-tasks using Jira Query?

This will be easy for me to include my 7-8 types of story level tickets everytime I want to filter them using Jira.

Hi @Sanjog Sigdel ,

Using below jql function you can find issues that are not subtasks.

issuetype in standardIssueTypes()

This is the exact solution I was looking for.

Just adding these two issuetypes here for future references and just is case anyone else is searching for the same query.

• issuetype in standardIssueTypes()
• issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes()

type != Sub-task ?

[Sanjog Sigdel]

Sub-task is a particular type of Sub Task, we can have multiple sub tasks such as QA, Design, Documentation and Support subtasks. As many as we create. Above solution provided by ! @Balaji Shriram Murkute there are few issue types. Standard Issue types are issue types who can have sub-tasks say Story, Task, Bug, Improvement etc.

Save these two issue types. This wis gonna make my queries look too small and pretty :)

• issuetype in standardIssueTypes()
• issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes()

Above solution is perfect.
