Visualization of the TimeLine when applying filters

Javier Laya

Hello everyone,

I have a timeline in which we can see our projects with its impacts and phases. The structure is the follwoing one.

• Project (Demand ticket): orange colour.
  • Phases (of the project): Created as a sub-task of the Project. Blue colour.
  • Impact (of the project): Created as a sub-task of the Project. Red colour.

So, the result is the below one, I do have a clear picture of time line of the project and its phases (in blue colour).

However, because of I don't want to see the impacts in the timeline, when I apply a filter "issue type = Demand and Phase", the previous structure is broken, I mean, I see all the tickets together, not below its parent (project) and ordered by ticket number:

So I can't see the impacts, that it's fine, however I can't not see the phases below its project as you can see in this previous picture.

My question is, is there any way to see only the Projects with its phases?, the same we have in the first picture but without the impacts (ticket in red colour).

Thank you so much in advance.

Regards - Javier

Hi @Javier Laya 

This is native behaviour, surprisingly enough.

This help page states...

Subtasks when a filter is applied

When filtering items in the list, calendar, or timeline view, you will still see the subtasks along with the other issue types if they match your filter. However, subtasks will not appear below their respective parent task when the filter is applied.

^ It's also mentioned in this closed bug - JWMCLOUD-149 

So there's not really an option for this at present in Jira Work Management!

The alternative would be to use a Software Project, and visualise the right levels in an Advanced Roadmaps Plan instead.
