Subtask not being tracked by Epic - Jira and Tempo

[Taihai Chen]

Hello there,

Thanks for opening this post.

I have a question about subtask. Currently, as a company we use Tempo on top of Jira to track our employees' work hours against a certain task. For accountancy and audit purposes, we need to categorise different tasks into different categories and our current approach is to use Epic to do so (not sure whether that's the best way though).

Normally what happens is, we go to Tempo, open Reports, and filter all tasks/stories using a certain Epic before a final report is generated. That has been serving us well, except subtask in that subtask doesn't seem to be tracked by Epic, so a subtask an employee has logged work hours against cannot be shown in the final report, which is a bit annoying. 

Subtask is a great feature that can help organise task management, so it's something useful so I don't want to discourage the team to use it just because it can't be tracked by Epic.

Is there a better way to get around it?

Best regards,

Taihai

We have the the same issue here!

It would be perfect if the EPIC filter would include a checkbox for subtasks/tasks assigned to the EPIC.

Looking foward to hearing from you.

@Taihai Chendid you find a solution in the meantime?
