How to display/ create a structure with parent-child link, without creation duplicates

Terence Givernaud

Hello, 

Could you help please : 

I have one JIRA Project split in several EPIC

These EPIC are splited in several New Feature or User stories

These previous issues are splited in several User stories 

These user stories could be split in other user stories. All these user stories are filled with EPIC Links and so has parent/is parent link when i do some splits.

How could I have a structure with a clean tree visualisation. I tried to create my own structure with JQL rules but i didnt succeed. I can visualize a kind of tree with EPIC > US Parent > US child etc but the US child will appear twice in the structure : one time as a child of the US parent, and one time as a child of the EPIC because I fill the EPIC Link in each US 

 

Thanks for your help

Hello @Terence Givernaud 

If I understand correctly, you have a hierarchy similar to this example:
Epic

  New Feature

  User Story 1
    User Story 1.1

  User Story 1.1

I.e. the User Story 1.1(and other such issues) is linked via the 'has parent' link to User Story 1 and it also directly connected to the Epic with the Epic link, so it appears in the structure twice.

If so, then you can try to remove User Story 1.1 from directly under the Epic by adding a JQL-based Filter generator, configured to remove all issues that have the 'has parent' link type & direction, and set the filter to work only on the second level of the structure.. Such filter won't remove User Story 1 because although it has the same link type as User Story 1.1, the link direction is different('is parent').

Alternatively, the Epic link can be removed from User Story 1.1 and similar issues to avoid their duplication in the hierarchy.

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.
