How to show initiative as a field from a plan view that only includes epics and lower

Question

We have a plan view we want to use to rank all epics, the epics live under themes which live under initiatives. We can use the "parent" field to show the theme names, but we also want to show the initiative names in this view without having the hierarchical view . Does anyone know how to accomplish this without doing something like a custom field and bulk actions?

thank you, this is what i expected. I think we may end up updating the names of the themes to include initiative since parent field can be gotten to

Hi @Adam Lee

You want to show the Initiative's name against an Epic?

You'll need that custom field I'm afraid, there's no native feature to show the grand parent in a flat view - either...

* Use a custom field and populate it using Automation
* Use an App to visualise this data - see what works from Apps like...* Jira Misc Custom Fields
* Dynamic Custom Fields for Jira
* ...or another App from the Marketplace
