How to create a filter that includes all sub-tasks and issues associated from Epics I create?

[Rich Goldstein]

Hello, 

Does anyone know how to create a filter that includes all sub-tasks and issues associated from Epics I (or another user) create?

I'm working on an account where we are creating a large amount of JIRA epics as well as a large amount of tickets associated to each epic so I want to create individual filters for each project manager who creates the initial epic

Thanks for your help, 

Rich

you can use 

parentEpic in (HW-1,HW-2)

where hw-1 etc are your epic's issue id. 

Hope this helps

Ok thank you. How would I type out the syntax in the filter? I would want to start like this:

project = "ProjectName" AND Producer = "rgoldstein" AND...

filters are easy to create. have a look at the below with examples

basically if you have created say 2 epics , and their issue key are say epic-1, epic-2 and i want to list all issues and subtasks in those epics i can use

project = "project name" and parentEpic in (epic-1,epic-2)

Is it possible to do this without manually needing to add each epic and just have all parentepics created by a specific user 

[Gurpreet]

parentEpic function works only on Issues i.e issue key. i dont think so you can use parentepics with a specific user. for more info see the details about parentEpic function
