Idea linked in delivery tab via implements doesnt show child issues/linked delivery work items

Question

Hi,

we have a lot of cross team dependencies.

* If you link to Idea X delivery work items from several teams (Jira projects) they will be correctly counted into idea X progress and can be seen including child work items but
* If you link to Idea X another Idea Y that has its own epics via implements relationship, Idea Y will be seen in delivery tab of Idea X but you cant see Epics of Idea Y and they dont count to Idea X progress. see screenshot

Is this intentional? It causes some complications e.g. Product manager X needs to know all dependent Jira delivery work items (not just from his dev team) and sometimes new are created over time.

If JPD would support use case #2, Product manager X would just need to know besides his Epic(s) only dependent Ideas.

Thx

Hi, I think this may be something you can solve with this upcoming feature (part of the premium plan)

We have the exact same issue in our organization and is now considering to merge together the JPD projects just to get everything planned in one place, ordering delivery tickets from multiple dev teams, but still kepp track on Idea level. 
BUT - also waiting for hiearchy functionality to see if this will help out on this issue..

Let me know if you figure out a good and efficient way of tracking this in your end. :)

Hi, yes thx for the reply.

It would be useful at least in our case as we have platform and complicated subsystem/R&D teams that have their own JPD projects and roadmaps with ideas that usually support ideas of product teams.

That an Idea could be linked as a delivery work item to another idea seems quite useful. Maybe the premium feature Idea hierarchies is addressing this although its not exactly hierarchy in our case but more like a chain of ideas (R&D ->platform->product team)
