Why can't Jira Gadget show blocked by or implemented by issues?

Question

When I add the filter results gadget to the Jira Dashboard I am able to see the "implemented by" field.

Our Initiatives are "implemented by" Epics/stories/tasks.

The column heading shows but none of the linked "implemented by" issues are displayed.

If I use "linked issues" they show up fine.

Also, why is "blocked by" not an option to show in the gadget?

Thanks. "Blocked by" should be a standard Jira option. I've seen it at various companies. Any idea as to why it's not showing as an option in the Gadget?

Hi @Bea Tea

Most likely the implemented by field is not the actual linked issues but some other custom field.

To accomplish what you need, you will require a 3rd party reporting plugin that displays linked issues hierarchies.
