Work Package details

[Emilio Valdivieso]

Hello All,

I am trying to find a way to find in an easy way from an epic or or a bug, to which workpackage are they linked to, and also the transition status from the WP. 

Ideally, see it directly in an overview form, where I can select the details I would need to visualize. 

Thank you for your help!

Can you elaborate on the business problem you are trying to solve with an example?

what do you mean by Work Package? is it a standard issue type linked to Epic or a subtask issue type?

[Emilio Valdivieso]

Sure. The WP it would be ther parent of an epic. 

I want to have an easier visualization of the corresponting WP (parent) transition status of a story or bug (childs) in one place. Because until now, the process first starts with going one by one up until I reach the parent and then I can see the transition status

Your hierarchy is

WP -> Epic -> Standard Issue Type -> sub-tasks

• One WP can have multiple Epics.
• One Epic can have multiple Standard Issue Type.

If I understand it correctly, in your WP, you want to see the status of all related Epics/Standard issues etc.

Are you on premium subscription? if yes, you can check plans, if that helps serve your purpose.

Otherwise, if you are looking to have consolidate view at WP level, then automation can help. However, requirement needs to be clearly defined.

Is the workflow same for all issuetypes?

Do you have custom fields to capture the status of Epic etc at WP level?

[Emilio Valdivieso]

Yes I do have premium. And yes I also have custom fields to capture the status. Workflow is the same. 

But how would it work with automation?

Can you elaborate with an example as to how you would like to see the status updated in custom field?

Do you plan to use one custom field or multiple (1 each for Epic, Standard Issue, Subtask)?

Let's say you have

1 WP. Under it 4 Epics. Each Epic has 2 to 4 Standard Issues. Each Standard Issue has say 3 to 4 subtasks.

Once the requirement is clearly chalked out, we should be able to work out an automation script,
