Show parent issue in backlog view when filtering on subtask assignee

[Callum Davey]

Hi community

My team primarily uses the backlog view in Jira cloud.  We have work items that are usually assigned to a primary person such as 'Jim', but there are subtasks that are assigned to different people such as 'Jess'.

In the backlog view when I filter by Assignee = 'Jess' I can see the subtasks assigned to 'Jess' but not the parent item assigned to 'Jim'.  It only references the unique ID of the parent, not the title. Unfortunately I cannot memorise thousands of titles relative to their unique IDs.

Any suggestions please?

Hi @Callum Davey ,

You could edit the card layout in the board settings and add the 'parent' field. E.g., I have created this example where CCP-58 is a parent of CCP-25 which title is "Task 1". After adding the field parent, I can see it "Task 1" the layout:

Thanks yes, I did try this work around but it makes my backlog unreadable as we have a lot of issues that need to be considered at once so I keep it super compact.
