How to see a Linked Issue in List view or Tree view

Question

We are using 2 level hierarchy - EPIC and TASK in our JIRA. We are looking to link multiple tasks/issues to a task to ensure completion of a parent issue should be blocked by Linked issues completion.

We understand that this can be done through automation.

However, the issue is how to VIEW these linked issues in a tree/hierarchy structure in JIRA?

We are not currently looking to install any 3rd party PAID application due to pricing constraints.

We built Astrolink to solve exactly this — it's a Jira Cloud app that renders an interactive star map (force-directed graph) of your issue links, right inside the issue panel. You can explore links up to multiple levels deep, filter by issue type and link type, and click any node to navigate to that issue. It works with all link types including blockers, relates-to, Confluence links, and more.

Hi @Aakash Khurana

Since Jira lacks a built-in solution that could solve your case directly, I would like to offer to explore visualization options you can use to take a look at the Visual Dependencies add-on. There is a Depth management opportunity that allows you to adjust how many levels of linked work items are displayed for you on the interactive scheme.

The add-on is free

Hope this helps! 🙌

Billy

Hi @Aakash Khurana welcome to the community!

Smart Hierarchy might fit your needs. It's free and easy to use.

With the tool you can view all issues in the hierarchy under the epic from any Jira task and navigate from one issue to another. However, I'm not sure if it allows you to view linked issues...
