Create a Filter that returns Parent and Child issues by "Component"

Question

Hello

I have a Kanban and Scrum board under the same project space and am hoping to separate the views by using the Component options.

* the Kanban board will be used for feasibility/spikes, and these will sit outside of Scrum team responsibilities
* the Scrum board will be used solely by the development team.

The query below returns all issues which have had a component selected, however it does not return child items such as sub-tasks.

project = PROJECT AND issuetype in (Epic, Story, Task, Sub-task, Bug) AND component in (COMPONENT1, COMPONENT2, COMPONENT3)

I am unable to install plugins and have no admin access. I also want to avoid labels :)

Where am I going wrong?

Hello Samantha,

Welcome to Atlassian community!

The query you have mentioned above is configured to display all issues (Including Sub-tasks) that are configured with one of the mentioned labels (COMPONENT1, COMPONENT2, COMPONENT3).

That been said, I wonder if you have identified in the board or directly in the Issue Navigator when you said the mentioned query is not returning Sub-task. Can you please let me know so we can better troubleshoot it?

If the issues are not returning in the JQL query of the issue navigator:

1 - Doublecheck that you have added one of the labels above to the sub-tasks

If The issues are returning in the JQL query, but not displaying in the board:

1 - Sub-tasks are not displayed in the backlog of Scrum boards, but only in the active Sprints. If you would like to display sub-tasks in the backlog, use a Kanban board.

2 - Check if the Sub-task statuses are properly mapped to the board columns at Board Settings > Columns.

Let me know what results you got from it or If you are expecting the mentioned query to return anything different from what it's returning.
