We are trying to view a story field with only the sub-task result set in context and within the structure. Is there a way on the column/formula to get Story.field when only sub-task is inserted?
Say for example we have jql issuetype = Sub-task and the columns are key|summary|... and we also want Story.StoryPoints
Any way to do it in a formula? trying to avoid doing a new calculated field nor do we want to extend a story query with sub-task.
Hi Corey,
Thanks for your question. Unfortunately, that is not possible currently out of the box -- the formulas can deal with values belonging to the issues that are in structure. So if you had stories above the sub-tasks, you could use "PARENT{field}" as a formula, but clearly it's not what you'd like to do.
As workarounds, one option would be indeed to create a calculated field. Another option is more expensive in development time -- create a Structure column through Structure's Java API (to be deployed as a separate add-on). The latter may be more preferable because it wouldn't pollute the custom fields space.
We also have a feature in the backlog that would have really helped here. I'll boost this feature's priority so hopefully we'll have a better solution for this specific problem in one of the next versions.
Kind regards,
Igor
