How do I filter so I can see all child issues under the highest hierarchy issue type?

Question

I have a project in which I have 4 issue types:

1. Goal

2. Intiative

3. Epic

4. Task

I want to create a filter in which I'll be able to see all child issues that are currently under the Goal (i.e. Initaitive 1, Initiative 2, Epic 1, Epic 2, Epic 3, Task 1, Task2 etc)

I want to do it for two reasons:

1. I want to build a plan/roadmap that will show ONLY the initiatives, Epics and task under my goal (and exclude other unrelated goals that are part of my project)

2. I want to create a burndown chart that will track down the tasks that are part of this Goal across all of its Initiatives and Epics.

Please not that I have Jira on prem/Server

THanks!

Hi @omrili,

If you consider a payed plugin as a possible option, try the Work Breakdown Structure gadget offered by our Great Gadgets app.

This will display the issue in the structure that you want: Initiatives > Epics > Strories > SubTasks. All you have to do is to configure the gadget to use a filter or JQL that returns the issue to be grouped.

You could then use the Release Burndown Burnup Chart gadget offered by same app, to generate burndown for your goal. All you have to do it to configure it with a filter / JQL that returns the issue that are part of the goal.

I hope this helps.

Hello @omrili

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

According to this document:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/advancedroadmapsserver/searching-for-issues-using-advanced-roadmaps-details-940678957.html

...you can use this to get all the child issues at all levels under a specified issue:

issuekey in childIssuesOf("<issueKey>")

I don't work specifically with the Advanced Roadmaps functionality in on-premise instances so I can't offer guidance on building a roadmap or burndown based on that.
