Tasks and stories not showing as child issues

Fahim Ahmed

HI,

I am using the following hierarchy on Jira.

Initiatives

Epics

Tasks

Story

Although I have Epic as a child of Initiative and Tasks and Story's as childs of the Epic, on the main page the Tasks and Story's don't show as being child issues?

Why is this?

Hi Fahim,

Only child issues are shown, not grandchildren issues. In other words, if you are on the Initiative screen, you will only see Epics under Child issues. If you are on the Epic screen, then you will see Stories and Tasks. And if you are on the Story or Task screen, then you will just see Sub-tasks.

Hi @Fahim Ahmed,

As @John Funk mentioned, only the child issues are shown in that screen.

For viewing the entire hierarchy, you could try using the List view available in each Jira project -> this will allow you to see the entire hierarchy.

Another option would be to use a plugin from Atlassian Marketplace. In case you want to use a plugin our Great Gadgets app can display the issues from a filter / JQL by their hierarchy (including initiatives) in Jira dashboards.

Thanks for the information - that's a bit annoying as I was hoping the full hierarchy would show but thanks for confirming

Fahim Ahmed

thanks Danut

Hi @Fahim Ahmed ,

As it was mentioned before, Jira doesn't go deeper than 1 level. This is why we added Issue Tree gadget in Pivot Report we develop:

Both Issue Tree and Issue Progress are customizable per issue type:
