Field "parent" not visible in Column filter [Jira Data Server]

[Eduardo]

Hello everyone,

Recently, my company switched from Jira Cloud to Jira Data Center and I am missing an important piece of information: field "parent" as a column of filter.

Every month, I run a report where I select one particular Story (or set of Stories) and fetch information from all sub-tasks present in that Story. In order to do that, I need to have field "parent" as a column of a filter. In in Jira DC I cannot find it.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Regards,

Eduardo

According to this document on Advanced Searching in Jira Data Center, Parent is a valid field to use in JQL if Sub-tasks have been enabled.

Are you using the Advanced Search and typing in your JQL, or the Basic Search and trying to find Parent in the list of additional fields to add to your filter? If you've been trying only the Basic Search, see if you can find the field in the Advanced Search typing in the JQL directly.

Thank you Trudy!!

I am using Advanced Search in my filters.

I am quite sure we are using Sub-tasks, because I can search for "parent" using the following query:

parent = LATAM-1234

But when I try a simple filter like the one below (using Advanced Search):

project = LATAM

I am not able to include a column with field "parent".

Any other suggestion that I could troubleshoot?

So, it is not the searching/jql that is the issue. Rather, the issue is that you are using List View for the output and wanting to include the Parent field in the columns of output in List View?

That is a puzzler. I work in Jira Cloud, and I can see Parent as an option when I am configuring the columns of the output display in List View.

That is correct.

I was able to include a new column "parent" in previous filters using Jira Cloud as well.

Never mind.

Thank you for your time.
