Issues in Epic - show only tasks not subtasks

[Gavin]

I have two epics.

In the "Issues in Epic"

- epic 1

-- shows only the tasks but not the subtask

- epic 2 

-- shows all the tasks and subtasks

How can I get the "Issues in Epic" to show only the task not sub tasks?

Unfortunately, I was speaking in the EPICS interface which doesn't have the option to leverage JQL. it isn't customizable. 

Thanks for response.  Unfortunately, something had changed in the bulk import option.  

The solution was:  In the bulk importer in the line item the epic link field can only. have the EPIC issue id for the tasks but not for the task

Hi @Gavin 

Welcome to the Community!!

For Epic 1 JQL is as below, this will return only Epic and Task (Not the Sub-task)

linkedissue = "Epic-Issue-Key-1" AND issuetype in standardIssueTypes()

If you need only Task of Epic-1 to show up, the JQL is as follows

linkedissue = "Epic-Issue-Key-1" AND issuetype = "Task"

[ Use whichever is convenient ]

For Epic 2 JQL is as below

linkedissue = "Epic-Issue-Key-2"

Clubbing them together will return the issues of both Epic-1 and Epic-2

(linkedissue = "Epic-Issue-Key-1" AND issuetype in standardIssueTypes()) OR linkedissue = "Epic-Issue-Key-2"

Let me know if this works for you!!

Thanks,
