List view only show issues in project, not others, want to see all issues under Epic in list view

Question

Hi,

Help

List view only show issues in project, not others, I want to see all issues under Epic in list view.

There must be a filter that is only displaying a epic in Project A's list view of Project A's tickets. There are tickets in Epic assigned to other team, but they are not showing.

Product Owner show have ability to stack rank all tickets under epic - drag/drop.

Jira cloud does not offer this feature in the epic view. The list view allows drag/drop, but can't see all ticket

Hi @LynnG

to the best of my knowledge, the list view always only shows the issues of the given project.

I don't know if this problem, in itself, justifies additional tooling for you, but just to put it out there:

If you're looking for an immediate resolution and are 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 range of advanced features - including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Plus, as every sheet in JXL is powered by a JQL query or a saved filter, it can include issues from any number of projects.

This is how it looks in action:

(Note how the epic from PROJA contains stories and sub-tasks from project WORK.)

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hello @LynnG

It does appear that the List view displays issues only from the project to which the board is attached (the Location setting of the board). I have not tested that exhaustively, but it does appear to be true.

If you have a board that combines Epics and child issues from multiple projects, you can change the rank of child issues in a given Epic from the Backlog view. Filter the view based on the desired Epic, so that only its children appear. Then those issue can be dragged to change their rank. That assumes the board's filter is using ORDER BY Rank, and the user has the appropriate permissions in all referenced projects to change the rank of issues.
