Filtering issue types on Release notes

Question

Hi,

I've been using JIRA Cloud for our projects and noticed JIRA has a cool feature to auto-generate release notes from versions. This is very efficient way of sharing outcomes of the releases but, it's quick unlucky to see that auto-generated report also consists of sub-tasks which are not of interest for outside world when we want to publish release notes with both internal & external stakeholders.

Long story short, I couldn't see any filtering possible to exclude sub-tasks from generated release notes. Therefore, it would be very nice to have an extra option under "Configure Release Notes" where we can choose issue types for generated release notes.

Thanks

@Eyup Cingel , but see here is the thing. Fix Version is not inherited, at least it isn't in my instance and I have never seen that before. I'm wondering if you have something configured to inherit possibly.

@Jack Brickey it is correct that sub-tasks are inheriting fix version from the parent and it requires additional work to exclude them out when you are planning the release for stories. In case you assign any story to a release then all sub-tasks of the story is also assigned to the release and they show up when you generate release notes. Since this requires prep in advance, it would be handy to get small filtering on "Configure Release notes" section to remove this hassle.

Below is a reference of what I'm actually looking for.

@Eyup Cingel , I have never seen any filtering options here and don't believe they exist. However, let me ask, are the sub-tasks showing in the release note even if the fix version is not set on the sub-tasks? Are they inheriting the FV from the parent? I'm wondering if you clear the FV for sub-tasks will they not show? I have not attempted this TBH.
