After Parent, what is the best way to see a subset of issues?

[justinlynn]

Sometimes we utilize 'Parent' Epic for more than one purpose.  So just filtering on Parent doesn't always solve for showing a specific subset of issues.  What do you recommend as a secondary 'parent'-type data point that can be filtered on to only show the issues you want to see for a given topic.  Thanks!

@justinlynn  You can use labels or create custom field (single option or multiple options). 

If you have epic with 10 issues and 4 of them are related to topic 1 and other 6 are related to topic 2, you can create custom field with options (topic1, topic2) etc.

And then use jql: parent = ... and Topic= topic1
