I am a Structure newbie. I've gone through posts trying to figure this out but I am having a great deal of trouble pinpointing a solution. In my JIRA project, I have created Initiatives. Each Initiative has either * multiple Epics which have Stories nested under them OR * individual stories nested under them if they don't warrant Epics Trying to figure out how to show via Structure the hierarchy similar to below and I am coming up short. Initiative 1 ---- Epic 1 ----------Story 1 ----------Story 2 ---- Epic 2 ----------Story 1 ----------Story 2 Initiative 2 ---- Epic 1 ----------Story 1 ----------Story 2 ---- Story 1 ---- Story 2 The closest I can get is just at the Epic -> Story level using JQL: issueFunction in issuesInEpics("priority = Critical and (status = Open or status = 'In Progress')") Any suggestions?

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Structure with Initiative, Epic and Story hierarchy

I am a Structure newbie. I've gone through posts trying to figure this out but I am having a great deal of trouble pinpointing a solution.

In my JIRA project, I have created Initiatives. Each Initiative has either

multiple Epics which have Stories nested under them OR
individual stories nested under them if they don't warrant Epics

Trying to figure out how to show via Structure the hierarchy similar to below and I am coming up short.

Initiative 1

---- Epic 1

----------Story 1

----------Story 2

---- Epic 2

----------Story 1

----------Story 2

Initiative 2

---- Epic 1

----------Story 1

----------Story 2

---- Story 1

---- Story 2

The closest I can get is just at the Epic -> Story level using JQL:

issueFunction in issuesInEpics("priority = Critical and (status = Open or status = 'In Progress')")

Any suggestions?

Hi Jeffrey,

This should be pretty simple.

1. Automation+>Insert>JQL query. The JQL should contain only initiatives

2. Then Automation+>Extend by>Linked issues - the link between Initiative and Epic

3. Automation+>Extend by>Stories under epics

Also, I am trying to do this dynamically - so that I don't have to manually add in the ID like below

@Jeffrey Kirkpatrick We have similar requirement. How do I go about creating the JQL's given by Igor Tasa?

1. Automation+>Insert>JQL query. The JQL should contain only initiatives

2. Then Automation+>Extend by>Linked issues - the link between Initiative and Epic

3. Automation+>Extend by>Stories under epics

I do not understand Step 2. What is the link between Initiative and Epic?

When I try and use Child or Parent link types, it doesnt work
