hi @Bekuretsion Gebremichael !

In Jira Cloud, the progress bar for child work items is shown by default. For Jira Data Center, this can be achieved with third-party tools. I can recommend our solution, Smart Hierarchy for Jira. It shows you all your work items in a compact view with a progress bar and details for each task.

Here's an example: an epic with stories, subtickets, and checklists.

At the top, you can see the progress bar for all work items; and below it, there's another progress bar, for checklist items:

What's convenient, all this is displayed directly inside the issue view. Additionally, Smart Hierarchy improves navigation and helps you switch between Jira issues faster.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any questions

Hi 

@Bekuretsion Gebremichael 

 

If you are open to try out a mktplace solution, you can have a look at our app,

Agile Tools

The app allows you to view your Issue Hierarchy in a tree view and as a dashboard gadget as well. In the hierarchy view you can view the % progress of your subtasks as well. The app sums up the time spent / story points at each parent level. You can also group it by assignee and filter the issues only for a particular sprint. Do give it a try.

Hi @Bekuretsion Gebremichael 

Assuming you're trying to see these progress bar visualisations in an overview report of your tickets, I can't think of a way to achieve this using native Jira Data Center features.

If you’re open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you might be interested in the app that my team and I a working on: JXL for Jira

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your Jira data that allows viewing, inline-editing, copy-pasting, sorting, and filtering by all your issues' fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Smartsheet, or Airtable. It also comes with a long list of further features, including grouping and structuring issues with highly configurable sum-ups and roll-ups across levels, including various progress and distribution bars showing totals or percentages.

You can build a view like e.g. this in just a few clicks:

I should also add that JXL can do much more than the above: From bespoke issue hierarchy, and conditional formatting, to inline bulk editing via copy/paste, and much more.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,
Daniel
