Requirements Report - No Requirements in the Report

Question

Hello.

My name is Javier and I am from Spain.

I have lately started using Jira and I have a big problem.

Once I have configurated everything in Jira, I have created several requirement issues. After this, I have created a requirement report issue and I have linked all the requirements using a customized filter (I have checked this filter really works). Then, I have generated the report (in .pdf format although I have tried other formats) and everything is correct except for the fact that any requirement has been added to the report.

I don t know what to do, because it is very important for me to solve this situation and I don t have any solution to this problem.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you for your time.

Yes, that's much more clear, thank you.

You've still not explained what a "requirement report" is though.  There's nothing by that name in the core of Jira, or Greenhopper (hence my question 4 - it sounds like a plugin might be giving you more functions than we're familiar with)

First of all, thank you for answering to me.

1. A requirement is an issue type where you can fill several fields (category, summary, title,...)

2 and 3. When I have created, for example, 6 requirements, I create a requirement report (also an issue type). When I create a requirement report, I can link (attach) the requirements I have just created (the 6 requirements) and generate the requirement report.

4. I am unaware of knowing if there is some plugin providing this functionality. If it is useful for you, I am using the GreenHoper plugin to manage three different projects although I don t know if there is some special plugin to create the requirement report (I will ask in case it is valuable information).

I hope I have explained correctly.

It's not clear to me what you are doing, or expecting here.  You've said "requirement" several times without explaining what you mean by that in Jira-language.

To try to understand it, could you tell us:

* What a requirement is?  Is it an issue type, or a field on issues (if it's a field, then what type of field is it, and where have you added it - global or limited to specific projects?)
* "I have linked all the requirements using a customized filter" - could you explain what you mean by this?  Some form of bulk update?
* " Then, I have generated the report " - where?  What report?  What did you tell Jira to do - download from the issue navigator?  Run a report off one of the menus?  Configured a dashboard?
* Is there some plugin providing this functionality?
