How can I see which teams are working on stories associated with a feature

One of my team members has stumped me...hopefully you can help. :-)

They are looking for a view within JIRA Align that would show which teams are working on stories associated with each feature.

As they view the list of features on their backlog / roadmap / Work Tree and the underlying stories they would also like to see which teams are working on that feature and specifically which stories each of the teams have for that feature.

I've tried to come at if from a couple of directions but haven't been able to get there yet.
Any ideas?

@Bob Hunt The best view available for this (without taking additional data steps) will. be the Program Board, specifically in the Quick View section.  

In the Program Board all the Features for a given PI will be displayed, additionally for each Team the Feature will appear in that Teams swimlane if one of two conditions are met: 

  • There is at least 1 Story assigned to the Team where the Story is parented to the Feature itself.
    • Note:  These teams cannot be removed from the Feature manually, the story/stories would need to be updated.  
  • Manually someone updates the "Teams" field in the quick View.  
    • Note:  These teams can be manually removed and will appear in the Teams field box with an X beside their name.  This indicates that team has zero stories which meet the first condition.  

In the Stories Section of the Quick View the Team Short Name is displayed in the grid showing the Stories themselves.

If you are seeking a method to do this from other views it requires the use of Tags (Labels in Jira).  

The best pattern would be to leverage automation for Jira to set a label equal to the Team Name on the stories.  Depending upon your implementation of the integration of Jira and Jira Align this may be implemented in various methods.  If you desire additional information regarding this option we would need to dig into your configurations inside Jira and Jira Align.

Thank you Steve!
It's a little cumbersome this way but I think this will satisfy their need for now. 
I'll also explore the automation approach...
