Complex JQL query

[Rene Rath]

Hi there,

"Give me all issues of type 'sub-task', which are not closed yet, but whose parent story are closed"

Is there any way I can phrase this in JQL?

Unfortunately, this doesn't work:

issuetype=Sub-task AND status!=closed and parent.status!=closed

cheers - rene

You could try the search intent plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.jira.plugins.jira-search-intent-plugin) and use a query like this :

issuetype=Sub-task AND status!=closed and SearchIntent = parentsInQuery("status != Closed")

I can't test this so I'm sure if it will work. You could also check out the JQL tricks plugin:

Cool stuff! Will try the plugins. Thanks Alex + Paul!

take a look: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/148224/jql-parent-is-a-specific-issue-type

requires a plugin installed, but is the same example with tasks and subtasks.
