Roadmap not showing child issues Edited

[Stig Marius Rånes-Opdal]

Does the Kanban Board have to include other types of issues in order for child issues to appear in the roadmap? Ours is currently only displaying Epics.

Hello @Stig Marius Rånes-Opdal,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

The Roadmap currently, shows only Epics. Other issue types will show as well, but only if they are a child issue of an Epic.

There is a feature request suggesting improvements for that:

• Date range for child issues on roadmap

Please, click on vote and watch to receive updates.

For more details about how to configure a roadmap, please check the documentation below:

• Classic projects - Create, manage, and visualize work on the roadmap
• Next-gen projects - Enable the roadmap

Kind regards,
Angélica

My problem is that my Epics have child issues within the same project, but they are not being displayed in the Roadmap. The board the Roadmap is connected to has a filter that only displays Epics (project = EP AND issuetype = Epic AND Labels != Risks ORDER BY Rank ASC) Is this filter the reason why I'm not seeing any child issues in the Roadmap?

Hi @Stig Marius Rånes-Opdal,

Thank you for the details and for sharing the filter.

I tested here on my local site and it will show only Epics without any child issues. 

Once I removed the "and issuetype = Epic", the child issues became visible on the Roadmap.

Please, change the filter of your board and test again.

If you face any issues or have any other questions regarding this matter, please let us know.

That was the key! Thank you - now we just need to clean up our status use to keep the kanban free of other issues than Epics (but that is a different challenge :D)
