View cross-project release in a single Release row

[Ivan]

I work on a project (Project 1) with some dependencies with another project (project 2).

To make it easier to manage I have created a cross-project release and a plan that includes both projects filtering the relevant tasks for Project 1 from Project 2.

The problem is that in the plan I don't see how to group the tickets in the same release. Although I have a cross project release in the plan I see the two individual releases for each project, making it kind of useless, duplicating initiatives and making it very hard to see the dependencies.

In the example I have:

• An initiative of Project1 with an Epic for each project
• Everything  assigned to the same cross-project release
• Epic from Project 1 has a dependency from Project2
  
  

I want to have both epics under the same release and be able to see the dependency. Having cross-project releases and then seeing them in separate releases is not very useful.

Hello @Ivan

Thank you for reaching out.

Although the way cross-project releases are displayed on the Advanced roadmap view is designed as intended, we understand that it might not fit some scenarios.

Unfortunately, that view can not be changed today, so we created the following feature request to consider the implementation of a different layout for Advanced roadmaps, where a cross-project release can be grouped into a single swimlane instead of two:

Grouping Cross project releases into a single swimlane

Thank you for the answer Petter. Hope it get implemented in the near future.
