How to filter by issuetype on a Jira Structure "Extend" section

[Luis Miguel]

I've created a Jira Structure with a list of Epics and added an "Extend" section (Automation or Transformation) to show issues linked to my Epics. Now I wonder, is it possible to add more logic to that Extend? I would like that Extend to show issues with a specific issue type only, I'm just interested on the Epics linked to the original list of Epics. Not sure how to solve this, maybe combining the Extend with a JQL. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Hello @Luis Miguel 

Extend generators can't be customized in this way - they simply check for the presence of the configured link in the parent issues (that is present in the structure) and add sub-issues, if the link is there.

To achieve what you're describing, you need to first use an extender and then add a Filter to only keep issues of a certain type. You can configure the filter to work on specific levels of the hierarchy where it's needed by setting its Filter on level field to Manual, and defining the level right underneath the parent issues.

I hope this helps. If you have more questions, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

Hello Stepan, I was not aware it was possible to apply a Filter to a specific hierarchy level. I made it work by adding that filter. Thank you!
