How do I order a filter to show a parent issue followed by its children?

Question

I'm using scriptRunner to filter all issues of a specific type that has subtasks. It displays the parent issue and its subtasks, but is currently ordered by key. I want to order it so it shows:

Parent

Subtasks

Parent

Subtasks

etc.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Hi Deanna,

Since you already have Scriptrunner it is not so har to add a scripted field to store the ParentIssue key in the child. Then order the search result by ParentIssue ASC, key ASC. The details is best to get from the Scriptrunner documentation, https://scriptrunner.adaptavist.com/latest/jira/scripted-fields.html. Some information is available in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-9197 as well.

Dang. Just listing the issues and the keys of the linked issues isn't enough - I need the extra data!

Hi Deanna,

We would not be able to list tree structure I am afraid.

Could you use the field called "Linked Issues" at the filter results.

You would be able to list the issues and linked issues ( Issue Keys)
