Using Parent from Product Discovery Projects

Question

We are using Objectives (issue type) from the Product Discovery Projects as the highest hierarchy level, however it appears we are not able to link the objectives as Parents. We'd like to use these to create Filters for Jira Plans. Looking at the issue Hierarchy- Epic appears to be the highest level supported. Is there a different way to easily build a Plan with multiple epics and Projects- and organize by Epic?

Hi @Sergey Shoshin

glad you got this to work! For future reference, you can find the relevant documentation here.

so it is also required to apply Advanced Search plugins with Parent-Child search capabilities

Not necessarily. Another option would be to use a broader JQL statement in your sheet's sheet scope - i.e. pulling all potential children - and then use JXL's filtering capabilities to hide those that aren't actually relevant. (JXL can download hundreds if not thousands of issues very fast, so unless you're dealing with very large amounts of issues, this shouldn't cause any problems.) Specifically, you can use JXL's level filtering settings to hide all child issues without parents.

If this needs further sparring, please be so kind and reach out to us at https://support.jxl.app so we can take a closer look at it - thanks!

Best,

Hannes

Ok, @Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira I found this setting working:

So, this linkage can be used anywhere else (except any of Atlassian Hierarchy, for sure) in all possible plugins.

The only problem -> It is required to find out all possible children first from all projects, so it is also required to apply Advanced Search plugins with Parent-Child search capabilities

@Hello, @Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira , Could you please share the hierarchy configuration? Trying to understand how you build a structure based on delivery tickets.

There is no "Link" or "Parent-Child" or something in the settings
