JQL to NOT Show a Story or subtasks in an Epic

[Ron Logan]

I am trying to create a Filter that does not show certain stories and subtasks within an Epic. Basically my Project has many Epics and I am trying to show just certain Epics and their related Issues and yet not show others. I am using the "Epic Link" !=Pro-XXx however this generates showing all stories that have Epic Links but filters out all of those issues that I have Epic Links that are null as well as the ones I wanted to not show. Is there another syntax that should be used?

Hi @Ron Logan,

This is because you current JQL query has != operation. 

Instead of filtering that way, 

Try to define you JQL as below. It will filter tickets that contain exactly defined epic links only. 

"Epic Link" in (epicLink1, epiclink2)

would adding in a 

and "Epic Link" is not EMPTY

help you get you the "certain Epics and their related Issues" that you are looking for?
