Filter to show sub tasks of a filtered list of parent tasks

Question

I have a JIRA filter which returns all the fixes in a future release:

project = MyProject AND fixVersion = "1.1.1" and issuetype in standardIssueTypes() and status != Closed

All of these issues have Sub-Tasks which I want to have in a new filter result. They do not have the fixVersion set.

I have tried the parent filter but this only accepts Key or ID.

Is there any way I can write a filter to access these without manually using something like parent in (MyProject-1,MyProject-2,MyProject-3,MyProject-4,etc)?

Answer 1

I have a solution that requires no plugins whatsoever, but some manual work that is much better than listing the tasks in the query itself:

Using the linkedIssues function, you can write a query like so

parent in linkedIssues("PROJ-1061")

Now, link all the issues you want in this query to the PROJ-1061 and you're golden. You can do this in a bulk job, you can also add it as a trigger in a workflow potentially.

Answer 2

You can install the Craftforge JQL functions https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/31601

You then create a filter

project = MyProject AND fixVersion = "1.1.1" and issuetype in standardIssueTypes() and status != Closed

Call this filter for example 'parentIssues'

Using the JQL

issue in subtaskIssuesFromFilter("parentIssues")

will retrieve all relevant subtask issues.

Answer 3

Use Script Runner plugin and a query like:

issueFunction in subtasksOf("project = MyProject AND fixVersion = 27_04_2013 and status != Closed"))

Answer 4

JQL Tricks adds tons of additional JQL functions: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.j-tricks.jql-plugin

Here an example for the above using their syntax:

issue in parent("project = MyProject AND fixVersion = 27_04_2013 and status != Closed")

Answer 5

There is no need for any Plugin.

Switch to "Advanced" filter option and enter

status in ("Open") AND parent in (PHX-xxx,ENG-xxx)

It will give you all the open tickets present as a subtask in parent JIRAs. Build more complex and enjoy using JIRA. Advanced filter options will also give you all possible values to build Queries.
