Is it possible to search JIRA for a list of subtasks whose parents are in another query?

Question

I have a filter that returns a group of parent tasks based on some criteria.

I can use this as a group of problems for further searching with filter = FilterName I would like to be able to use this in the parent field search in the form

parent IN (filter = FilterName)

Is it possible?

Answer 1

The IN statement expects a comma-separated list. Although I'm not sure how to get the information you are looking for exclusively using the built-in JQL, the question was asked earlier and the answer was accepted based on the use of the plug-in.

Filter for displaying subtasks of the filtered list of parent tasks

The good news is the link to Craftforge JQL : free .

UPDATE: As Mickey mentioned in the comments, this plugin is no longer free from version 2.0 (April 16, 2013)

Answer 2

JQL scripting functions included in the free Script Runner will allow you to do what you need.

For instance:

 issueFunction in subTasksOf("filter = FilterName")
