Working with Dashboards and Filters, and I want to add a filter that will pull only the development tasks associated with a Story into the results.

Is 'Development task' an issuetype in your project? And are these like subtasks?
If so you can configure your jql to :
issuetype = "Development Task" AND parent in (issuetype = Story AND project = ABC)

Replace the ABC with your Jira project key

Development is an issuetype

- Issuetype = Development AND parent in (lssuetype 

However when the jql gets to this stage issuetype is not identified as a option only (linkedIssues(""),  issuesWithRemoteLinksByGlobalId(""),

Ok, lets see if the AI feature in Jira Cloud can shine here 😊

Pulled in 1000+ records, so with this adjustment I get all the relevant dev tasks, next I am looking to only get the items linked to a Story (removing bug and enhancement dev tasks)

Ok, then you are looking for a 2 level nested query. I don't think that is possible natively in Jira Cloud.

It could be possible through scriptrunner plugin by calling the issue function like:
issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf( "issuetype = Story AND 'Epic Link' = EYP-123")
