issuesInEpics()

Description:

Searches issues within epics that match the given subquery..
See also: epicsOf()

Note:
Since you need to enclose the provided subquery using doble quotes, you must to escape any doble quotes using in the subquery by preceding a backslash after the double quotes, alternatively you can use a single quote in some cases.

Let's see an example...

This will not work

issue IN issuesInEpics("resolution = "Won't Do" AND status = Closed")

^{Searches issues within Epics that are}^{closed and their resolution have been set to "Won't Do"}

This will work perfectly

issue IN issuesInEpics("resolution = \"Won't Do\" AND status = Closed")

^{Searches issues within Epics that are} ^{closed and their resolution have been set to "Won't Do"}

issue IN issuesInEpics("status = 'In Progress' AND reporter = currentUser()")

^{Searches issues within Epics that are in proress and have been reportered by me}
