I've been playing with the Program Board Beta and this type of query would make using that feature much easier. I'd like to set a range of projects, specify issue type (Epic), parameters relating to those Epics (custom fields) and get the children of those filtered Epics. 

Would like to see this for sure

Also interested in a cloud version of this solution

Is there a cloud version of this?

Totally agree but with little advance version of it. Instead of one value to be passed, we should be able to pass and sub query in function:

Something like this:

issue in parent("key = value and status = value")

e.g.

issue in parent(project = XY anc component = ABC)

Another example would be like:

issue "key" = "value" AND parent ("key" = "value" and status = "Value")

e.g.

issue in status = done AND parent (status = in progress and component = test)

With help of this we'll be able to achieve output for which current we require plugin and pay extra.

Thank you!!

Yes this is extremely useful and required functionality which otherwise needs to be fulfilled by script runner plugin which adds up to the cost

This is something that seems extremely basic and yet far too difficult to do without extensions.  Please consider adding this functionality – it'd prevent quite a few of my headaches.

I've been using Jira since 2006. And I am extremely frustrated that seemingly easy/common use-cases aren't supported out of the box! Why do I have to pay extra money after paying Atlassian quite a lot of money for Jira already?

Requesting the ability to query an epic and any subordinate items (story, task, subtask) - it should not be necessary to use a 3rd party tool to obtain this information in Cloud JIRA. Not having the ability to deliver this payload renders the relationship between Agile development principles and Jira to a point of absurdity. Let's keep the lights on!
