Nesting Stories under Epics in Board & List View

[Sim Borodach]

The nesting is not showing up the way that it does for Tasks nested under Stories. Can we get some guidance on how to have the nesting show up?

Hello @Sim Borodach 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

You mentioned "List view" which is a feature of only the Work Management projects. When you are viewing the project with the problem do you see something like this at the top of the screen?

If you do, that is a Work Management project.

And if so, when you say you see nesting of "Tasks under Stories" do you mean something like this:

If your answers to all of the above are Yes...

Work Management projects currently are not capable of showing Tasks nested under Epics on the board view.  There is a change request for that here to which you can add your vote/comments:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JWMCLOUD-111

Nesting of Tasks under Epics in the List view is currently supported as can be seen in the screen image from my instance.

If you are not seeing that, please first confirm that the Task is truly a child of the Epic. 

If you can provide screen images of what you are seeing, that would be very helpful.

Hey @Trudy Claspill

Thanks for providing a super thorough and prompt reply. My answer is "yes" to all of the above. We discovered in the process of research that nesting Tasks/Stories under Epics can only be done in a Work-Management Project, much like you said. We may switch over the to the project type where we can do the proper nesting. We are all set for now.

@Marc - Devoteam Thanks for chiming in. Trudy's response covered everything I needed.

Thanks all,

Hi @Sim Borodach

I understand that you'd like to see issue nesting also in non-Work-Management issue lists. 

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 issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. In a sense, it has a few things in common with JWM's list view, however JXL comes with a range of advanced features - including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies - and also works in (and across!) projects of any type, not just JWM projects.

This is how it looks in action:

Issue hierarchies also work in combination with JXL's other advanced features, such as issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes
