Advanced Roadmaps referencing restricted queries in Jira

[Karl Rothenberg]

I'm trying to get a Roadmap to display Epics and their child tickets. So I have the hierarchy set to Epics to Sub-tasks. This roadmap is only displaying the child tickets and NOT the epic.

This roadmap is using a saved filter for source data. I think the problem lies in the query itself. Here's what I mean;

Search parameters:

• Project: Web
• Type: All
• Status: All
• Assignee: All
• Epic Link:
  • Epic 1 (Specified by name)
  • Epic 2 (Specified by name)
  • Epic 3 (Specified by name)

This causes the plan in Advanced Roadmaps to show me ONLY the sub-tasks and not the Epics (Parent).

What I think the query should look like:

• Project: Web
• Type: All
• Status: All
• Assignee: All
• Epic Link, exclude anything that is not:
  • Epic 1 (Specified by name)
  • Epic 2 (Specified by name)
  • Epic 3 (Specified by name)

Is this possible? 

Thoughts?

Hi @Karl Rothenberg

You will need to create a filter using the advanced jql. With the basic query search you cannot include "or" statements. 

It will be something like: "epic link" = "epic xyz name" or key = xyz-123".

This will give you the epic and the links under epic xyz-123

This will go only one level down. If you want all the hierarchy with detailed jql there are some plugins that you use: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Jira-questions/JQL-query-to-find-child-issues-of-Initiative/qaq-p/461409

In server, I can't remember if you can use the childissuesof, but give it a try.

I will look into this. Thank you for the guidance.
