How do I filter by Epic(s) with next-gen projects?

[Brandon Hite]

I have found various threads suggesting a JQL syntax of `"Epic Name" = {project-id}` however, that doesn't appear to be working for me.

Ideally, I'd like to filter all issues across all projects that appear in a list of epics, so something like `"Epic Name" = PROJA-1 OR "Epic Name" = PROJB-1 OR "Epic Name" = PROJC-1".

What exactly are you trying to end up with?

you could find the issues under an epic using this - parentepic = abc-234

Hey Jack!

That query returns the epic issue itself - I'm interested in the child issues though.

Ideally, I could just filter for all child issues, so something like `Epic Link IS NOT empty` or something similar, then I can modify it to the specific projects from there. Am I overlooking that?

Actually you cannot do this at all in NG. The epic link relationship does not exist in NG. There is an issue that is currently in the “awaiting development” status so I expect we will see it at some point - JSWCLOUD-17239

That's what I was afraid of. It seems like the idea of Epics has been very artificially implemented in NG which is disappointing. Hopefully that issue is implemented soon. Thanks @Jack Brickey !
