Filtering out groups on Structure

Kelsey Mitchell_70owur

I have a Jira Structure that has folders, and under each folder the issues are grouped by a custom label field. This field can have multiple entries, but I only want the ones that match the filtered folder to show.

For example:

Jira issue XYZ-1 has label A-1 and B-1 and issue XYZ-2 has label A-1 and A-2

What shows now for the custom label groups:

(folder) A

->(custom label group) A-1

->->XYZ-1

->->XYZ-2

->(custom label group) A-2

->->XYZ-2

-> (custom label group) B-1 

->->XYZ-1


(folder) B

->(custom label group) A-1

->->XYZ-1

-> (custom label group) B-1 

->->XYZ-1

How I want the groups to display under the folders

(folder) A

->(custom label group) A-1

->->XYZ-1

->->XYZ-2

->(custom label group) A-2

->->XYZ-2


(folder) B

-> (custom label group) B-1 

->->XYZ-1

Hi Kelsey,

In this particular scenario it is possible to use formulas for additional grouping. So add grouping by formula IF(SEARCH("B", summary), "B", SEARCH("A", summary), "A")

For that, group by Text Attribute>Formula, then enter the above formula. You will also need to check "Consider other groups" box, and after the generator is created make sure it is one row below the grouping by label generator (you can use down or up arrow buttons above the structure to adjust the position of generator).

If your label names are more complex, you'd have to search for the values, but note that if one value contains another the search would have to be more complex.

That just seems to group them to how I've got the folders set up. I still have the "B-#" label groups under the "A" folder or the "A" formula grouping. How do I remove those from that group?

Here's my automation rows for the Structure if that helps:

Group by Formula (the formula given above)
Group by custom label (to get the A-1, A-2 groupings)
Insert Issues

This thread seems like it may be helpful. But I don't know how do do the " Filter transformation that allows removing certain created groups and all issues in them" that Sepan calls out.

Hi Kelsey,

- Group by Formula (the formula given above)

- Group by custom label (to get the A-1, A-2 groupings)

- Insert Issues

You'll need to change order of Groupers as I described earlier: "make sure it is one row below the grouping by label generator (you can use down or up arrow buttons above the structure to adjust the position of generator)"

As for Stepan's comment you can add Filter (text) transformation (containing just B) at level 1 (level setting of the transformation) to keep only folder B and its children.

Egor
