Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

Just to confirm on your needs, are you looking for a way to create a graph for the status of "Issues in Epic" of a specific Epic or is it something different?

Kind regards,

I will soon reply with some steps and you let us know if that helps you.

body: In my example I have Epic *SCRUM1-24* with a few *Issues in epic* linked.

![epic1.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/185277iA12E189978FA0468/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "epic1.png")

Using the [Epic Link](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/epic-name-vs-epic-link-779158632.html) custom field, I can create a JQL to search for those issues.

![epic2.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/185280i3BF655682D61AD73/image-dimensions/304x317?v=v2 "epic2.png")

With that, I can [save the search as a filter](https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/saving-your-search-as-a-filter-939938748.html) for subsequent usage on a Dashboard or on a Confluence page.

Here's the example of using this filter within a pie chart.

![epic3.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/185281iEEF1B960B24DD0C8/image-dimensions/357x185?v=v2 "epic3.png")

![epic4.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/185282iF00779C18B0B1E4F/image-dimensions/356x271?v=v2 "epic4.png")

If I want to show something similar within a Confluence page, then I can use the [Jira Chart Macro](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/jira-chart-macro-427623467.html).

![epic5.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/185285i1F571A5862902F52/image-dimensions/373x207?v=v2 "epic5.png")

![epic6.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/185286i8A09A4E1937E282C/image-dimensions/372x198?v=v2 "epic6.png")

I hope that was what you were looking for.

I am trying to achieve the same thing but it's not happening and I am not sure what's wrong. Need serious help here.  

I have different types of projects and we are trying to capture the Accessibility progress in our Dashboard using a pie chart. We have epic and child issues associated with it. I am able to fetch the epic but not its child issue in the pie chart.   

**JQL query is:**   
project = ABC AND issuetype = Epic AND text \~ "ABC Accessibility" ORDER BY created DESC  

I tried this "EPIC Link" = ABC-3223  

It doesn't work in my case. I know I am missing something and I need your guidance.

This is only possible with Advanced JQL Plugins which offer subqueries

Some examples here are

Scriptrunner which offers linked issues searching function --\> [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/6820/scriptrunner-for-jira?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

JQL Search Extensions --\> [https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214791/jql-search-extensions-for-jira-the-jql-extensions?tab=overview\&hosting=cloud](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1214791/jql-search-extensions-for-jira-the-jql-extensions?tab=overview&hosting=cloud)

Please explore and decide if you need to move ahead with the plugin

Thanks,  
Pramodh
