JIRA On-Demand Querying by parent

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18781319

Question

I'm using the On Demand version of Jira. I need a filter that will show me:

All issues within a particular epic AND all sub tasks of those issues.

So effectively:

  • Epic
    • Story 1
      • Sub Task 1
      • Sub Task 2
    • Defect 1
    • Story 2
      • Sub Task 3
      • Sub Task 4
      • Defect 2

Plugins are not an option here as I'm using the OnDemand version. Any suggestions on how I can achieve the above without having to link all sub tasks to the epic?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Question is quite old but since 13 January 2017 Jira Cloud (previously OnDemand) supports a parentEpic:

parentEpic = Epic-1

this will find the epic itself, with all the stories/tasks in the epic and their sub-tasks, it was previously not possible without installing add-ons.

OTHER TIPS

With JIRA OnDemand, you are severely limited in the kinds of queries you can run. OnDemand and self-hosted actually have same default JQL features, but the self-hosted does allow for a ton of add-ons for JQL.

I've solved this problem personally by first using the JIRA CLI to get a dump of all the issues in a project into a local CSV. Then, I use csvkit to make tables/CSV that I actually need (i.e. All descendant issues of a parent epic).

I think following query will help you to get expecting result:

project = project name AND "Epic Link" = 'epic name'..
