Structure to show the whole issues hierarchy but filter irrelevant issues

Lean Li

Hi community!

We have the following type of issue hierarchy in use, where the issues of different hierarchies are linked to each other with a parent link.

1. Initiative

  1.1 Feature

     1.1.1 Epic

          1.1.1.1 Story

 

In addition, we link horizontal dependencies to other products within our value stream to Capabilities with contributes to-link.

I'm struggling to find a way to create a structure with the whole product hierarchy (Initiative-Feature-Epic-Story) but that it would only include those issues that are linked with the "contributes to" link to a specific capability.

In this example case (in the picture) i would  want my Structure folder to contain  only these issues:

• Iniative
  • Feature 1
    • Epic 1.2
      • Story 1.2.1
      • Story 1.2.2
      • Story 1.2.3
    • Epic 1.3
      • Story 1.3.2
  • Feature 2

At the moment my automation includes these steps:

• Insert jql: project = "PRODUCT ABC" and issuetype = Initiative
• Extend with Advanced Roadmaps(Portfolio) child issues
• Add issues belonging to epics
• Filter by JQL Query: issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("issuetype = "Capability", "is achieved by") 

The problem is, that:

• if I select the "Show all sub-items of matching items" in the Filter by JQL Query, it also returns eg. epic 2.1, epic 2.2 and epic 2.3. 
• if I don't choose the "Show all sub-items of matching items" or filter on level 3, it then drops the story 1.3.2 away from the Structure.

Basically the logic is something like this:

• IF issuetype = Feature AND the issue is linked to Capability (with a "contributes to"- link): show only those issues that are linked with a "contributes to"- link to the Capability
• IF issuetype = Epic AND the issue is linked to Capability (with a "contributes to"- link): : show only those issues (and their child issues) that are linked with with a "contributes to"- link to the Capability
• IF issuetype = Story or Bug AND the issue is linked to Capability (with a "contributes to"- link): : show only those issues that are linked with a "contributes to"- link to the Capability

Any ideas, on how to solve this? Thank you very much already in advance!

I was able to solve this by fetching issues from the feature level, grouping them by the parent from  advanced roadmaps (parent link) and filtering with another view that includes all issues and their child issues matching this rule: issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("issuetype = "Capability", "is achieved by").
