Jira FILTER SEARCH QUERY: all issues starting from an epic (from multiple projects)

[Mateus Lima]

Hi, guys

I'm trying to crack this but lost my hope. Imagine this:

"-We have a huge project called A1 that has 15 issues. This project also resulted in two other projects for another areas:

---A2 project, with another 10 issues

---A3 project, with 5 issues

For the entire project to be done, we need all the 30 issues to be completed."

This scenario happened a lot with us (and it's not very practical to keep creating filters needing to find all projects related to the first one, every time...).

So, the question is: is there a way to search for all issues starting with one epic that is related to them?

I tried issueFunction in linkedIssuesOfAll("issue = A1"), however, it returned me 17 issues (15 issues from A1 and the singular epic issues A2 and A3, as they are a result from A1, however without showing the issues inside those epics).

So basically we're trying to create a filter that allows us to give only one project parameter (in this case, A1) and in return receive all issues linked to it directly (in our example, all the 15 issues inside A1) and also issues inside other projects that are linked also (which means, issues inside A2 and A3, however WITHOUT inserting A2 or A3 in the query).

Can you guys provide a JQL QUERY EXAMPLE?

Here is the query:

"Epic Link" = ZZZ where ZZZ is the epic ticket number

The query will return all issues linked to epic ZZZ irrespective of which project these belong to. Let me know if it works.

Thanks

Hi, 

Thank you, but this would return ONLY linked issues, we're looking for a search for ALL ISSUES POSSIBLY RELATED to an epic, which means, not only directly linked, but issues inside an epic that is linked to the first epic (some kind of cascade query).

Best,

Hi I am trying to understand the query here. I assume you are using a single kanban board for all the 'projects' . 

Typically, one project or more than one project can be clubbed as a single project and a board can be created.

I think the best approach here would be creating 3 epics - A1 , A2, A3 and tickets linked to these epics. When you open an epic all the tickets will be displayed with their statuses. Hope this helps.

Hi, 

We're trying to create a SEARCH inserting only ONE EPIC that returns to us ALL ISSUES POSSIBLY RELATED to it.

In the example above, we would want a query using the A1 that returned all issues inside A1, A2 and A3 (once epics are related).
