Jira Timeline - How to show Parent of the Epic and Display Multple Projects

[Calvin]

Hi all, we use jira cloud, and are starting to try to use the timeline feature. We are hoping to show the parent epic of the pic based on the plans hierarchy. Is this possible or is timeline Epic -> Story/Task/Bug only.

Also is plans the only alternative to show multiple projects? Its a bit iffy that Boards will have a backlog of 2 projects, but then its connected timeline does not.

Hello @Calvin 

The Timeline option that shows as a tab along side of Board, List, Summary, etc. can show only Epics and their children. The Timeline available in a Plan, or a third party app, must be used to see the extended work item hierarchy.
