How do I write a backlog quich filter on the name of the epic assigned to the issue in JQL?

[Tim Shea]

I need to filter on project name keywords, but teams create new epics and stories often.  So I need to query on the epic name in the issues backlog without hard coding a bunch of epic IDs in the query.

i.e. I need to filter on "Epic Name" ~ "KEYWORD"

and I can't use

("Epic Link" = ID-100) or ("Epic Link"  = ID-101) etc.

Hey Tim,

This is not possible using out of box JIRA JQL functionality to filter epic name with a keyword. It seem possible using a Scriptrunner for jira as discuss in previous question in the community:
