I need to export subtask with epic link in jira software

[Pallavi Deore]

Hello All,

Is there any way in jira server to export subtask issues with their related epic links/name.

Thank you in advanced.

Sub-tasks don't have an Epic link.  They are included in an Epic by virtue of being part of their parent issue.

Is there any way we can get this done.

If you've got Scriptrunner, you can use the issuefunction to find the issues, as Alex says, but that won't get you the epic link in the output (because there isn't one for sub-tasks)

What I would do is create my own reporting field.  Again with Scriptrunner.  You can use it to define scripted fields which report data calculated automatically, usually from other fields on the issue.

You'll need a short script which says 

• If issue type = epic, return the epic name
• If issue type = standard issue, return the epic name from the epic link
• If issue type = sub-task, look at the parent issue and return the epic name from the epic link

The last time I did this, the client actually wanted the Epic's issue key to come out as a link so they could click straight through to the Epic - there's plenty of flexibility on what you choose to return in the field.

The reason I do it for all three levels of issue type is that I want it in one field in my reports, I don't want to have to have three columns (epic name, issue epic link, sub task epic link)

Hi @Pallavi Deore 

Try something like:

parent = EPIC-LINK

Hello Alex,

I have tried in Search issues 

parent = EPIC-LINK

 but that does not work.

@Pallavi Deore it doesn't work, because I gave you wrong instruction :(

This JQL will give you the parent of the subtask, meaning a standard issue type and not an epic. So this is not the solution. So, out of the box there isn't much to do.

But if you have scriptrunner you could do the following:

issuefunction in subtasksOf('issueFunction in issuesInEpics("issuekey=ATK-5")')

Where ATK-5 is the Epic link. This ought to work!
