How to Create a View of each Story, Grouped with Linked Tasks Together.

Question

I'm trying to create a view of issues where the rows returned are grouped like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------

ISSUE TYPE - - KEY - - SUMMARY

--------------------------------------------------------------

Story - - S1...

Task - - S1-T1 (where this task is issue linked to Story S1)...

Task - - S1-T2 (where this task is issue linked to Story S1)...

Task - - S1-T3 (where this task is issue linked to Story S1)...

Story - - S2...

Task - - S2-T1 (where this task is issue linked to Story S2)...

Task - - S2-T2 (where this task is issue linked to Story S2)...

Task - - S2-T3 (where this task is issue linked to Story S2)...

Is there a way to do this? How would I structure my JQL?

Thank you :-)

Hi @Deryl Coe

welcome to the community!

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you may want to have a look at the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies. These issue hierarchies can be based on Jira's built-in parent/child relationships (like e.g. epic/story or story/sub-task), and/or based on issue links of configurable issue link types.

This is how it looks in action:

This all plays well with JXL's many other capabilities, such as issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hello @Deryl Coe

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The grouping that you are attempting is not available with native Jira functionality.

It might be possible with a third party app/plug-in. Are you will to consider that? If so, are you using Jira Server, Jira Data Center, or Jira Cloud?
