From “I can see it” to “I can search it”: that’s the step Argon adds to your mission control.
One Epic (MARS-1 Mars Mission), three Stories, six Tasks. In Jira you can see who belongs to whom, but only one issue at a time. Native JQL can’t ask “show me everything under this Epic” or “which Stories own my blocked tasks?”
Argon adds two functions that do exactly that:
🔽 childrenOf: walk down the tree
🔼 parentOf: walk back up
Main advantages:
▪️ Any JQL as input: pass in a sprint, assignee, component or status, not just a fixed issue key,
▪️ Always up to date: results follow your hierarchy as it changes, no exports,
▪️ Works in both directions: top-down for planning, bottom-up for risk,
▪️ Combine with other filters: add AND, OR and not in like any other JQL,
▪️ Finds gaps: issuetype = Sub-task AND issue not in childrenOf("issuetype = Story") shows orphan Sub-tasks,
▪️ Everywhere JQL works: filters, boards and dashboards, with data staying inside Atlassian.
You can try JQL Argon trial on the Atlassian Marketplace -> JQL Argon
Enjoy!
