      Atlassian Update - Sept 17th 2026

      This suggestion brings together several related requests, which now have dedicated tickets:

      • Team-managed project support: JRACLOUD-87934 — Under consideration
      • Multiple parent keys in one function call: JRACLOUD-99540 — Gathering interest
      • Selecting parents through a JQL query: JRACLOUD-99541 — Gathering interest

      We are actively evaluating TMP support and will share the decision here and on its dedicated ticket. There is no delivery commitment or release date yet.

      Summary

      Currently, portfolioChildIssuesOf() only accepts one input parameter in the form of an issue key. This makes searching for child issues of multiple parents unwieldy, and doesn't allow for flexible search of child issues based on other parameters. This function also does not include team managed projects.

      Desired Results

      Either or both of the below results would increase usability of the function and it would be great if this function also returns team managed projects which can be child or parent of an issue.

      1. Allow the function to accept multiple issue keys as a comma separated list. E.g., issuekey in portfolioChildIssuesOf("EPIC-001", "EPIC-002", "INIT-001") returns all child issues of EPIC-001, EPIC-002, and INIT-001.
      2. Allow the function to accept a subquery within JQL. E.g., issuekey in portfolioChildIssuesOf(project = ABC and issuetype = Epic and environment = "Desktop") returns child issues of Epics in the ABC project with a specific value in the environment custom field.
