Search for issues by epic
Problem to solve
Today you can find issues in an epic by going to that epic, but it would be nice - especially for large Epics to use the issue search function to also find all issues in an Epic. The issue search display shows much more than the epic mini-display does (think labels, etc) and it would make it valuable to combine searches (show me all issues in this Epic with label X)
Target audience
-
Parker, Product Manager, https://design.gitlab.com/research/personas#persona-parker
-
Delaney, Development Team Lead, https://design.gitlab.com/research/personas#persona-delaney
Further details
Additional use case would be: show me all issues with label X that don't have an Epic assigned. Would be extremely useful for the way we at GitLab plan top down and bottom up - triage gets the correct stage/category label on the issue and then as a Product Manager I can find issues that I haven't yet placed in their respective Epics by searching for "no" epic assigned.
Proposal
Add a filter to the issue search similar to:
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
