See linked issues in Timeline or associate tasks without Epics

Bruna Martins

Hi,

I'd like to see all linked issues in the Timeline. Today if a link is selected as "blocked by", I see that the dependency appears. This is not useful for us since while managing a roadmap the "causes" option is more relevant when linking issues.

This would also be solved by adding loose tasks to specific initiatives (skipping the Epic parent).

Hi @Bruna Martins and welcome to the Community!

From the tags in your question and your reference to initiatives, I take that you are on a premium plan and refer to the timeline in an advanced roadmaps plan?

If so, I may have some good news and less good news. To start with the good news: in Advanced Roadmaps Settings (accessible via the top menu Plans > Settings), you can find Dependencies settings. You can add extra link types from Jira as available dependencies in your plan and that way make them appear as dependencies as well. Note that this change will apply to all plans that you may already have in your site.

The not so good news is that the hierarchy in advanced roadmaps is strict. So adding loose tasks directly to an initiative without an epic in between is not possible.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help, Walter. The linked issues are now showing as dependencies, but they do not appear in the timeline as part of the initiative. Is it possible to configure this as well?

Hi @Bruna Martins,

Only if they are configured in the issue hierarchy as child issues of the initiative. If that's not the case (from your initial question I assume they are tasks or some other issue type at the same level as tasks), you need to add them to an Epic and then in turn link that Epic to the desired initiative.

For all clarity: connecting issues to a parent always goes via the parent field. And you cannot skip levels in the hierarchy, unfortunately.

Welcome!
