Can I remove parent issue in custom structure view without removing/unlinking in actual structure

Ramsha Deshmukh

Hi,

I am trying to create some custom structure views for different projects, In the extender, I am selecting "relates" instead of "relate->" or "relate<-" and that pulls all the parent issues in the view. When I try to remove the parent issue using "X" button from the top bar, it unlinks the parent issue from the actual/main structure project folder.

How can I safely remove parent issues without removing/unlinking it from the main structure?

Hi Ramsha,

I believe you would have to filter them out either through generator or transformation, but only if those parent issues are actually in a children's position in your structure. It is a bit unclear what is their actual position. Seeing the structure would allow me to provide more specific instruction.

Thank you very much Egor, I will try filtering them out. Basically we have 5 level hierarchy in our instance - project folder->portfolio -> program-> projects->milestones->Subtaks ..If I am trying to custom a view at a project level it is pulling everything in that view which is linked to it for eg- program/portfolio from the top hierarchy. Apparently this was actually making the view more messier and killing the purpose of customizing.

But i think adding a transformation issuetype =! Program and portfolio should work

thanks again

Hi Egor,

Thank you again for the filter suggestion looks like there two things happening

(1) it just greys out that parents issue if I add it as transformation+filter and do not filter out from the view plus when I hover over the greyed issue I am still able to drill down to child issues under it.

(2) If I am adding a JQL query using the "automation" button it does not work at all. Can you guide me on what I am doing wrong?

Attaching both pictures for your reference

Please help!

Hi Ramsha,

That's what I meant when I mentioned that issues would have to be in child positions. Issues cannot be completely hidden from Structure without their children, as this breaks the hierarchy. You can hide parent and its children if you restrict the filter to the level of the parent (by default filter applies to all levels and may keep children that pass it).

Sorry for missing your earlier comment, strange that it did not register in my email.

I have an extended question to this. Say I insert children as directed above but also want to sort by the parent rank so that the children appear in the sort order of parent rank?

Hi Brian,

Is there a chance you could clarify what you mean by 'directed above'?

Are the parent items present in the hierarchy?

If so, would the Sort by Rank be of any help here?

Automation > + > Sort > Rank
