JQL query: how to get output of child ONLY JIRA stories of particular filter(EPICS)

[John K]

Hi, the objective is to get an output list of all JIRA child stories from particular Epics.

Identified Epics (could be a filter) or all Epics that have a particular component field or label, etc...

Hello @John K

Welcome to the community!

The "Epic link" is a specific "Issue Link". You can use this JQL:

issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("PUT A JQL HERE TO FILTER EPICS YOU SHOULD USE SIMPLE COTE 'WORD1 WORD2' IF NEEDED", 'is Epic of')

You can use this if you have scriptrunner addon

Ok, big thank you, let me try this out. :-)

[John K]

Ok, and what if you do not have a scriptrunner?

[John K]

What would be a potential solution?

I've also found this blog... but I am not sure how to write the syntax for it....

With native Jira, it is not possible to apply filter on epics. You can only get stories of one epic with this JQL

issue in linkedIssues(EPICKEY-123,"is Epic of")

[John K]

correct, I was able to get out put on a single Epic, but if I put a comma and additional epic it will provide output. The limitation is I always need to know the Epic #.

issuetype = Story AND "Epic Link" in (ABC-1234, ABC-1235,etc...)
