Gadget or filter to view subtasks assigned to another user where I am the assignee on the story Jira

[Richard Clark]

I am trying to determine if there is a way in which I can include a gadget or filter onto my dashboard so that I can view all subtasks that are listed under each of story where I am the assignee. The subtasks are usually assigned to a different user so I want to view the progress of each subtask. It would be ideal if I can expand the existing "Assigned to Me" gadget and apply additional filters to show the applicable subtasks.

Hi @Richard Clark ,

Welcome to Atlassian community and thank you for your question.

With jql or standard gadgets it's not possible.

If you don't want to get additional apps, you can build a workaround. You can create a custom field the in subtask named "Parent assignee" and update it in all the subtasks each each the parent assignee is changed.

The automation to maintain the subtask custom field updated should be:

I hope it can helps.

Thank you Matteo. I will try your suggestion.

Hi @Richard Clark 

Welcome to the community !!

Not sure if this can be achieved out of the box in Jira. If you are open to try out a mktplace solution for this need, I can suggest 

Issue Hierarchy 

The app allows you to view your project issue hierarchy (cross projects as well) created with issue links as well or standard Jira hierarchy or both in a tree view. You can view %complete progress at each parent level. It rolls up the time tracking fields, story point or numeric fields at each parent level. The app can be added to a dashboard as well.

Hi @Richard Clark

Welcome to the community!

As mentioned by @Matteo Vecchiato  and @Rahul_RVS, there is no out-of-the-box dashboard solution that allows for expanding the subtasks of the issues assigned to me.
If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are 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 work items' fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel, Google Sheets, Smartsheet, or Airtable. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including configurable issue hierarchies. 

If you use an issue hierarchy in combination with JXL's column filtering feature and the option to show the matches, ancestors and descendants in the results, you can build the dashboard view that you are looking for in just a couple of clicks, like so:

(Note that e.g. JSWC-5936 and JSWC-5939 aren't assigned to me but are still shown - though greyed out - as they are sub-tasks of stories that are assigned to me.)

This would also work with epics, or any other levels of hierarchy you may want to model.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,
Ivan
