How can I make the Task Board display issues for child versions?

[Jamie Ide]

The Task Board only displays issues for the currently selected version, it does not include issues from child versions. The Planning Board does include child version issues. How can I make the Task Board behave like the Planning Board in this respect?

There must be something wrong with your configuration. If I select the parent version for the task board, I can see the child version issues also.

Did you check your versions hierarchy ? Do you see the parent version as second fixversion in the regular jira view ?

Thanks for the reply. I don't see the parent version as the second fix version in JIRA and I wasn't aware that I needed to set this. Do I have to rely on developers to add both versions (actual fix and parent) or does JIRA/Greenhopper do this for me?

[Thomas Schlegel]

no, you don't set the parent version yourself. If you set the parent field of the child version in the planning board view, the parent is automatically added as second version.

I need to play with it a bit more, but it appears that only works if the fix version is set in GreenHopper. It doesn't work if the fix version is set to a child version in JIRA.

Did you set the parent field on the child version ? I think this is the only thing you have to do to make it work.
