Hi

@Menaka 

If you are open for a mktplace solution, we have built an app for the same use case.

Issue Hierarchy Reports 

Through this app you can visualize your complete hierarchy including linked issues and much more. Do Try it out.

Hi  @Madhu_RVS 

Would this app be helpful to display all the linked issues that exist outside the epic from the same or a different project board along with the child issues with in the epic ?Thanks

Hi @Menaka 

Yes. The app shows the child issues of the Epic along with any linked issues which may be in a different project as well.

Do try it out.

Thanks

Hi @Menaka

if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this would be easy to do in the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies. These can be modelled based on Jira's built-in parent/child relationships (like Epic/Story), and/or based on issue links.

This is how it looks in action:

JXL sheets are fundamentally "cross-project", so parent and child issues can come from different projects, too. It's also worth noting that JXL can do much more than the above: From bulk issue editing via copy/paste, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, and conditional formatting. 

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hello,

May I suggest this JQL clause ?

("Epic Name" = yourEpicName or parentEpic = yourEpicNb)

Have tried the JQL but wont show up epic and its child issues in the BASIC list view navigating via issues tab
