How to get an Epic-Story view similar to Story-Subtask view

Question

Hi I'd like an Epic-Story view similar to Story-Subtask view, and not with Epics as swimlanes on a board.  If I select all issue types in my filter, I get Epics and Stories in corresponding columns without any correlation between Epics and *its* stories.  If I select only Epics, then obviously I dont get Stories.

This is my ask:

As a Product Owner handling multiple epics in a project

I want a Kanban Board / Dashboard to show Epics based on status, and Stories underneath each Epic

So that I can track progress of Epics and stories within each epic, in a single view.

Hi @Tushar Mathur

If you are fine with a mktplace app, to get this data, you can try out our plugin

Agile Tools : Epic Tree, Links Tree, Time in Status & Worklogs

You can view you complete Epic Hierarchy with the help of the app, along with roll up progress based on time estimates and story points.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to do it, you may be able to do it using an app.

Thanks for your comment, @Florian Bonniec .  I do want to see both Epic and Story card, Story under the Epic like subtask.  Unfortunately, as you say, it seems not possible.

I have the Epic Link in my story card, but then stories form an epic are all over in a column, and not tucked underneath it's parent epic.  I even tried the jql to ORDER BY Epic Link but then Epics all stack together as their Epic Link is empty.

Having Epics as swimlanes won't serve my purpose as I would like to see the Epic move along the board as it progresses.
