Timeline does not show stories below epics

[Kai Heckel]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to display a list of epics and their child stories through the "Timeline" of a "Board".

For the board there is a JQL Filter which collects all the correct epics. The epics are also displayed in the timeline but it does not show which stories are in child relation to those epics.

I have checked the  child level issue scheduling in the settings tab of the board, which correspondes to the timeline. It still does not show up. Any ideas?

Hello @Kai Heckel 

Have you reffered to this page: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/My-Project-Timeline-does-not-show-epics/qaq-p/2685531

Thanks but this does not quite suit my question.
I am able to see all relevant epics already. It's just the structure below the epic, which I cannot display in the timeline.

I got one step closer to my goal. I can now see the stories in my timeline.

The fix was to widen the filter for the board (basically only the space) and then use a more precise filtering within the timeline. Before I limited the timeline with the pre-filtering of the board itself.

Now that this is done, I have only one thing missing: The stories are now expandable under their epics, which is good, but what I am looking for is seeing the stories as bars in my timeline (within the time frame of the sprint they are part of).

Hi @Kai Heckel 
Doesn't it look like this?

[Kai Heckel]

Hi @Mary from Planyway ,

unfortunately no. I can only see the epics. Stories below the epics are not shown (but they exist).

Are you sure they linked and no filters applied in the Timeline view?

[Kai Heckel]

Hi @Mary from Planyway

no there are no filters applied as shown in the screenshot. The stories are also linked as child stories as you can see and they are part of a sprint running from 30th March to Mid April, so they should show up if I am not mistaken. 
I feel like I am missing something very small and basic.

The timeline configuration also seems to be correct, right?

[Mary from Planyway]

Yes, everything seems to be right. 
Maybe it's worth writing to Atlassian Support

Ok thanks, I will try that.
