Timeline rank

Viola Volosz

Hi,

 

I have a Business project in JIRA, and on the Timeline I have tasks (hierarchie=0) and sub-tasks (hierarche =-1). If i don't use any filter, the sub-tasks  are ordered to the belonging tasks. That is fine for me. 

But, when I use some filter, the sub-task are ordered at the bottom of the timeline. 

 

(I guess the modifing time can cause it, because I made a bulk change on them.)

 

How can I get back the original rank?

 

Thank you

Hi @Viola Volosz ,  this is an excellent question and a sort of crazy design choice by Atlassian. We ran into this as well.

While it does not change the hierarchy of the issue (they are still -1 sub-tasks), it does no longer nest the sub-tasks underneath their parent issues. Instead it shows a relationship in the # Key column.

There is an open suggestion for this, if you want to help vote, watch and comment:

• JWMCLOUD-140: Have the list keep displaying parent/child relation aka nesting when applying filter

One of the limited workarounds I found for this, was to "filter" by using the Group feature. This only gets you assignee, status, and priority. For us, the assignee was good enough. But adding any actual filters of fields will break the view again.

Hope this helps (if even a little bit)
