I'm using a JIRA instance for which I'm not the admin, so I don't have the option of installing plugins. I'm trying to filter to find issues in a particular project that don't have a parent (aren't sub-tasks of something else), but I can't figure out a good way to do so. The following query returns issues with a particular parent with the ID 84, but I'm not sure how to tweak it to get issues with no parent:
project = FOO AND Status = Open AND parent = FOO-84
For child issues of an issue from a specific hierarchy level in Portfolio for Jira, type issuekey in childIssuesOf("EX-000").
Basic and Advanced Searches There are two types of searches in Jira: basic and advanced. Basic searches, like the ones above, present you with a set of forms that you can fill in, such as Project name, Issue Type, Status, and Assignee. Basic search can be useful for getting a high-level view of your issues and status.
In Portfolio for Jira an issue can only have one single parent issue. So an Epic can be assigned to only one single initiative through a parent - child relationship.
The " != " operator is used to search for issues where the value of the specified field does not match the specified value. (Note: cannot be used with text fields; see the DOES NOT MATCH (" !~ ") operator instead.)
It doesn't seem to be possible since doing "parent = null" or "" will tell you that the parent field doesn't support empty value search.
However, to get a list of top level issues you can use the issueType field this way:
project = FOO AND Status = Open AND issuetype in standardIssueTypes()
To get a list of subtasks:
project = FOO AND Status = Open AND issuetype in subTaskIssueTypes()
