How can I link directly to an issue within the graphical dependencies report?

[Chris Lee]

The link to dependencies report within advanced roadmap only goes to the overall graphical/node view. To reach an individual issue and its dependencies you must select an issue from the "filter by issue" selector within the page. How can I link directly to an issue?

Hi @Chris Lee 

Are you in cloud or data center? Both tools have advanced roadmaps but they do work differently

Data center documentation can be found here: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver/dependencies-in-advanced-roadmaps-1044784190.html

And cloud: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/configure-dependencies-in-jira-for-advanced-roadmaps/

Best,

Clark

Thanks. We are on data center. I have read through all the documentation and did not find an answer, hence my question posted here.

[Chris Lee]

I'm specifically interested in the graphical/node view.

Hi @Chris Lee 

In data center at least in jira 9 it would be

Add a dependency

To add a dependency to an issue in your plan:

1. Hover on the schedule bar for the issue to which you want to add a dependency, and select the + icon. Selecting the + icon on the right will create an outgoing dependency, while the left will create an incoming dependency.
2. Choose the issue to which you want to attach the dependency.
3. Select the checkmark to confirm your choice.

After adding a dependency to an issue, adjust the dates by clicking and dragging the ends of the schedule bar. The badges on either end will turn red if there are conflicting dates.

If you are in an older version though it may not be possible so you may need to update jira

Best,
Clark

Sorry if I didn't explain my issue more clearly. I appreciate your willingness to help but that's not what I'm trying to do.

On the "Dependencies Report" tab of the plan, a graphical/connected-node view is shown of the roadmap.

It is possible to obtain a URL for this view so it can be linked to from outside the Advanced Roadmap tool.

However, the link given always shows the full top-level view of the plan with every issue item/node included.

To narrow the view and only show an item/issue of interest and its direct connections, you can make a selection from the "Filter by issue" drop down.

What I want to know is how to link directly to that secondary selection made in the drop down and bypass the full top-level view.

From the lack of response I'll assume this isn't currently possible.
