How to show subtasks behind Stories in filter result even if they are excluded in filter expression

[Martin Schwaab]

Hi JIRA experts ,

I searched in existing posts but didn´t found solution for this:

I want to see all stories to an special Epic within filter result showing their subtasks behind the story.

As I have the Epic-ID in filter and subtasks have no Epic ID they are currently not show.

Is this possible without an additional plugin?

Regards, Martin

Could you provide the JQL you are using? Are you trying to do this in the Issue Navigation search? Even if we manage to pull in the sub-tasks they will not appear in an organized way. Do you have ScriptRunner in your instance?

Hi Andrew, my JQL is quite simple: project = SMT AND "Epic Link" = SMT-50

In the result (yes, I used issue navigation search) I only have the stories and subtask-id in column but I would like to see the subtask issues in separate line behind the story like this:

Issue-id      Issue Type     Descr             Subtasks     Epic Link

SMT-1        Story             Story01          SMT-123     SMT-50

SMT-123    Subtask         Subtask01                         none!

Unfortunately we have no ScriptRunner installed.

You and every PM and Scrum master I have worked with over the last 10 years. The functionality just isn't there. If you check a couple of the postings here you can get the view you are trying to get using a kanban board and configuring the backlog feature. I believe you still need SciptRunner to get them to show on a Scrum board but it's been a while since I last looked in this...

Thanks for reply! Too bad that it cannot be displayed in the filter result. That it can be displayed in the board is clear so far. But we wanted to display it independently from Sprint assignments. Will now work with the board and additional Quick Filter.

Use 3 filters,

Filter 1, named '369_Stories': 

        issuetype in (story, PTR) AND cf[13056] = SAMSS-369 ORDER BY Key

Filter 2, named '369_Subtasks':

       issuefunction in subtasksof("filter = 369_Stories") OR issuetype in (Sub-task) AND issuefunction in linkedissuesof("key = SAMSS-369")

Filter 3, named '369' (number of the Epic ticket concerned):

       filter in (369_Stories, 369_Subtasks)

Note:

        cf[13056] = Epic link
