How can I create a chart that groups items by their parents parent?

Question

I need to show chart that groups items by their parents parent? i.e. I need to show how many Epics were completed for the categories that these Epics are under 2 levels up.

Let's says that each Epic is under an Initiative A, B, or C and each Initiatives is under a Workstream I, II, or III.

I need to show how many Epics were completed related to each of those Workstreams.

I think some sort of Custom Chart should help me get this done, but I can't figure out how.

Thanks!

Are you Initiative linked to Epic via an Issue link?

I think so as you are on a free Cloud plan and you can't have a hierarchy.

To achieve you request, you would need an app.

You could try Swanly portfolio roadmaps

Hi Marc! Thanks for the suggestion.

I just tried and Jira doesn't allow me to use the Epic Link field on Epics themselves.

Any other thoughts?

Thank you!

HI @Martin B

What If you use Epic Link.

Parent and Parent Link are fields related to Advanced roadmap, as you don't use this you could try to use Epic Link
