subtasksOf

The subtasksOf function is a targeted tool within Jira for drilling down into the specifics of task management, enabling users to isolate and manage sub-tasks associated with issues identified by a subquery.

It's helpful for:

  • Identifying all subtasks under specific issues
  • Reviewing the progress of subtasks

Syntax and parameters

subtasksOf(Subquery)
  • Subquery: A JQL query string to identify the parent issues whose sub-tasks you want to retrieve. This can be based on various criteria such as project, status, or any specific identifiers.

Examples

  1. Identifying sub-tasks of high-priority issues:

    To ensure that high-priority issues are progressing well, you might want to isolate and examine their sub-tasks with:

    issueFunction in subtasksOf("priority = Highest AND project = CURRENT")
  2. Identifying sub-tasks of high-priority issues: To find sub-tasks that are Open, but their parent issue has a resolution of Fixed, you could use:

    issueFunction in subtasksOf("resolution = Fixed") AND status = Open

    To find unresolved sub-tasks of resolved issues you can use:

    issueFunction in subtasksOf("resolution IS NOT EMPTY") AND resolution IS EMPTY
