Timeline view: Epic -> task -> subtask hierarchy

Olivier_0cmsxf

Hello,

My team is using Jira Work Management as a project management tool and would like to see the tasks listed under their respective epics and subtasks under their respective tasks (in drop-downs) in the Timeline view.

However, tasks and epics are currently not linked to each other in the Timeline view. They are listed as separate issues. Is there a way to change this?

I saw this question in the community from last year but there didn't seem to be a recent answer about a recent release.

Hi Olivier - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

You should click on the Give feedback button on the bottom left of the Jira Work Management project and let them know you would like to see the visual of the hierarchy.

It's just in Jira Software Projects (Kanban team-managed). I don't know why, because it's a very helpful feature.

was this solved?

Olivier_0cmsxf

No, it's not possible in Jira Work Management at the moment.

Is there a tentative date for this?

The Difference between Roadmap in Software Project and the Timeline in Business Project, is just the name I reckon... the code should be pretty similar. So implementation must be quick.

In case this is going to take longer, which template do you recommend me to use If I want to have the List View and the Timeline, but with the Epic / Task / Subtask grouping available.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Same here! Very annoying that it is working on a task->task but not for epic->task!

Any updates on this one?

Does this satisfy what you are looking for? Seems like it would...

I think not the case in here. We are looking for sub task. I think it should has at least 3 level of visibility: epic > story, bug, task > subtask.

Epic should be some major milestone the length might over months; bug, story is the high level of tasks to achieve the epic, might take weeks; subtask is the actual execution task to complete and fix each story and bug, might take days.

I vote that this feature is definitely needed! Is there a JIRA card we can vote up?

You sure? I don’t find it in Jira software timeline showing subtask

Also interested in this feature, newly added stories and tasks are listed on the bottom of the list and not in the epic that is parent to them and to wchich they belong, hard to maintain that, hard to read the timeline properly.

Hi - I'm very interested in this feature. Is there any update?

Jira Software shows epic children but not task children.

Jira Work Management shows task children but not epic children.

I am going to say it again: Atlassian does not know how to write a function. They cannot write a piece of code that does the same thing with different parameters; instead, they write every single effect in every single instance sui generis.

Just like they expect us to create every single project from scratch, even when it is a copy of the previous five projects we've done.

They literally do not understand the concept of a function.

Any updates on this in JWM

Micheal Planck

Proof of my assertion: They are rolling out full level nesting for JWM... but not for JSM.

At some in the future, they will rewrite JSM to look like JWM. But they will not simply use the same code to achieve the same effect; they will write new code, with new bugs, and maintain two identical features separately.

Because Atlassian does not understand how to write a function.

@Lucy Cameron no - as per previous comment, we desperately need a 3 tier hierarchy to run a good project.

Sharon Welensky

PLEASE do this, so we don't have to buy additional project management tools :-(

Dinesh Moodley

@Lucy Cameron any update on this above please. We need this feature for the timeline view as well

Lucy Cameron

I'm just a user! But we've had to find work arounds like just placing the tasks underneath their relevant stories. It gets pretty hairy not being able to collapse all the stories with their related tasks, but I don't think there's another way to do it.

HI @Dinesh Moodley

If you are open to explore a mktplace app to view issue hierarchy in a timeline view, I can suggest our app

Issue Hierarchy

The app also allows you to create a hierarchy based on standard jira structure (Epic -> Story/Task -> Subtask) or even with your issue links. You can view %complete progress at each parent level. It roll ups the time tracking fields, story point or numeric fields at each parent level. The Timeline view shows the complete hierarchy of your Issues.
