Structure Gantt Slice for Groups and Folders

Joachim Goehl

Dear community,

I was searching for a solution, as you can see, unsuccessfully. So here comes my first ever community question.

 

In the Gantt chart configuration - Is there a way to create a slice for a group?

 

I have a structure where I build groups by the Release fixVersions. I do this directly in the automation via Formula fixVersions.UMAX_BY($.name). Now the appearance in the gantt chart doe not really suit. And also my quetion applies to all groups and folders in general.

To pick the contents of a slice the only choice you have is Issue Types or JQL query.

Issue Types does really only show the Jira issue tpyes, meaning no groups or folders. so a dead end, I guess.

And I have also tried two JQL querys; one by name (summary ~ Start of FolderNames) and a second where I exclude the issue types of the structure (type not it (Project,Milestone) in hope that the groups / folders remain as a result - but it did not change the appearanceof the group/folder in the Gantt chart.

 

Best regards

Joachim

Hello @Joachim Goehl 

This is not possible in the current architecture of Structure.Gantt. Since the item behavior - when a structure item is displayed as a task and when it is displayed as a group on the chart - can already be defined by slices, adding an additional one for appearances only can create a cyclic reference.

As an alternative, you can use the Formula column in the structure and return, for example, a colored indicator for every group or folder.

I hope this helps. If you have other questions, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.
