View "Subtask" status in Parent's bug filter results column

Question

Hi,

For each of our parent bugs, we create sub-task of type "backport request". Each backport request corresponds to a release branch. There is a separate workflow for the backport request.

When I search using jql, I get results of parent bug. For each of the parent bug, i would like to see the status of their backport request in the filter results. Is there a way to add a column in the search result that will pull data from the backport request and display ?

Thanks for the explanation. I will talk with jira admin here to see if we can get these plugin installed.

Each line in your search result gives you the fields that are for the issue being listed.  You are asking to see fields from *other* issues than the one being reported, which is not what most people would expect to happen

What Alexey is suggesting is that you expose the "backport request" field as though it is part of the parent.  Jira doesn't do this off the shelf, so you need code that can read the sub-task and pull the data into a field on the parent (Script Runner, Power Scripts, Automation, Power custom fields, Nfeed, all can do this sort of thing)
