Filter based on filtered epics ("epic link" in )

[Matthias]

I want to create a filter to find all issue, which are part of particular epics. This list of epic is not static but most somehow be flexible defined. Either by a particular label or a value of some field (I am flexible here).

I tried the filter "Epic Link" in (labels = myLabel) but this obviously does not work. Has anybody an idea how to solve this?

Can't do it with standard JQL.

Take a look at e.g. those plugins:

* Jamies script runner and scripted JQL-functions

https://jamieechlin.atlassian.net/wiki/display/GRV/Scripted+JQL+Functions#ScriptedJQLFunctions-linkedIssuesOf(Subquery,linkname)

* Search linked issues plugin:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.craftforge.jira.craftforge-jql-functions-plugin

First alternative is free!

Cheers
