Diagnosis

Environment

  • JIRA 7

Diagnostic Steps

Cause

The Configuring Filters automatically filters out those tasks which is are not relevant to the current sprint.

Solution

Workaround

For example: The query Configuring Filters will includes a clause to limit the results to current sprint .

1 project = SUPP AND issuetype in (task, epic) AND (Sprint in openSprints() AND resolution = Unresolved) ORDER BY Rank ASC

After removed the "Sprint in openSprints() AND resolution = Unresolved" clause from the query, the user will be able to see correct number of completed Issues in the Epic Report.

1 project = SUPP AND issuetype in (task, epic) ORDER BY Rank ASC
