Why the field 'Parent Link' does not have value for an issue and will not be displayed on the view

Albert Wang_nbm0iz

I am using Jira Software Cloud Free version.

I have a Classic Project and I am mainly using the New Issue View.

I tried to show the field Parent Link on sub-task.

However, it does not work.

I inspected the reason by using the Old View feature Where is my field?

I got the error is: The field 'Parent Link' does not have value for an issue and will not be displayed on the view.

But as shown in the photo, my current issue is a sub-task and it does have a parent.

Hi @Albert Wang ,

welcome to the Atlassian Community!

As far as I know, Parent Link is a custom field, which is used by Advanced Roadmaps. So this one cannot be displayed, because there is really no value. Link to the parent could be obtained from the breadcrumbs, there is not custom field for this relation link.

Hi Hana,

Thank you for your kind help.

I realized that I could see the parent (Task) of a Sub-task from the breadcurmbs.

However, I really would want to see a Sub-task's task (name) from the issue card view.

Is that possible?

Thank you.

Regards,

Albert

Hi @Albert Wang ,

if you mouse over the parent issue key, it shows summary for the parent issue in the tooltip. There are other possibilites like copy the paren't summary to some custom field on your subtask and update it every time parent's summary changes, but to be honest it doesn't make much sense to me to create automations for such things.
