Has anyone experienced this issue?
Description
Within the past week, we began experiencing inconsistent and misleading visibility of child issues (stories, tasks, subtasks) under parent issues in Jira Cloud.
In the issue view, no child stories are visible at all — regardless of the status of those stories (To Do, In Progress, or Done). This creates the appearance that the parent has no child work items.
The child items only become visible after interacting with the ellipsis ( … ) menu → “Hide done” (toggling it on or off), which forces the child list to re-render. Once toggled, child issues of all statuses appear.
This behavior occurs:
- Without any recent board filter or JQL changes
- Without permission or security changes
- Across multiple projects and issue types
- After page refreshes
- Even when child issues are clearly not in a Done status
