Hi @oda mao 

You could achieve this with a couple of ways (but since you are using the server Jira) but with no out of the box functionalities. Do you have any app installed on your instance, such as Jira Automation, JMWE, or Scriptrunner?

hi team,

all options from my side are in below screenshot, please help check if they work

Unfortunately you can't do this without any apps. You may want to use a dashboard gadget to achieve this (may a 2d filter table could do the trick for you).

hi Alex,

np, could you help share how to do the filter?

• Go to your dashboard
• Add gadget
• Find the 2 dimension filter statistic
• Configure the filter by placing on Y-axis the Epic Link and on X axis the issue types
• Choose the filter you want

Hello @oda mao ,

if it for reporting purpose, please try the below workaround.

If bugs are linked to epics by using "Epic Link" field value. we can retrieve the number of bus for the epic, by writing JQL query.

I recently tried to show how many types a jira story passed through "IN PROGRESS" status and shown the count in view screen in a newly created custom field.

May be script runner can provide these kind of scenario's || as counting the number of linked items and show the number in any custom field.

Automation for jira also helpful. can you please check the below YouTube video for reference

If bugs are linked to epics by editing "Epic Link" the solution provided by @Alex Koxaras -Relational- will works for you.
