I want ll issues to be displayed tagged to an epic on a quarterly basis

[stuti sinha]

I have an epic called Production Defect Backlog.

Now i want the issues part of this epic to be displayed within a time range i.e. for a quarter how many issues were part of backlog. 

Using JIRA v7.2.8

If it's a quarter or a set release timeframe you could also use FixVersion.

For example, each Quarter could be a release - Q1.2019, Q2.2019, etc. You could then filter via release instead:

FixVersion = Q1.2019 and "Epic Name" = "X"

Thanks but in my case if we are tagging to that epic, the fixversion would be empty.

So you're looking for all children of an epic which are added to an epic to be delivered within a quarter?

I.E the story could be created anytime - it's what epic it lives within?

That's right!!!

And also now its been moved to a different epic but whatever is/was part of this epic for the specific time.

i highly doubt this can be done with out of the box jira functionality. you might have to use add-ons. here is a good one.

I would use Scriptrunner or an equivalent app to search for all issues under a certain FixVersion - for example:

project = MyProject and issuefunction in issuesInEpics("fixversion = Q1")

^ This would give you all the issues within a specific project where the Epic has a certain fixversion. This could be changed to be based on created date or similar. You could also do it with linkedissuesof:

issuefunction in linkedIssuesOf ("project = MyProject and issuetype = Epic and labels = Dojo1","is epic of")

^ I'm not so sure on the second part mentioned here - if an issue has been moved to another epic then the search wouldn't account for this. Apologies if I've misunderstood - let me know if there's something else I could help with.

you can use filters to perform a search based on your criteria. for e.g for your use case it can be 

created >= 2019-02-01 AND created <= 2019-02-12 AND "Epic Name" = "test"

have a look at below link for more details about filters

hope this helps

Thanks but the issue might be created in the specified date range but tagged to that epic in a different time range.

So, it might not give a correct picture. What exactly I am looking is whenever its tagged to that epic it should count in that specific quarter, irrespective when it was created.
