Hi fellow Jira users,

Wondering if anyone could help me out with the below challenge.

I added additional issue type (parent) above Epic in Jira that called 'Objectives'.

Would love to now have swimlines on Kanban board based on this issue type ('Objectives') rather than epics, stories, etc. Anyone able to help with JQL to customize my board accordingly (if possible at all).

Hello @Anna Berus 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The only way to do that at this time would be to create a JQL statement for each Objective individually to create a swimlane for that Objective. 

What would you expect to display in that swimlane? The child Epics? The child stories of the child Epics?

Thank you Trudy. 

Yes, each objective includes multiple epics and stories/taks and I would like for objective to exhibit everything within it in a clear, easy-to-read form. 

Would you have any advice on how to do it?

There currently is not a native JQL method for getting all the descendant issues through all levels of the hierarchy, down through the child issues under Epics, supplying only the issue key of an issue at a level above Epics. There is a change request about that here:

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-19543

The portfolioChildIssuesOf function goes down to the Epic level.

issue in portfolioChildIssuesOf("<issue key>")

...will give you all the descendants just to and including the Epic level. For example if you have

Initiative (ABC-1)
Feature (ABC-2)
Epic (ABC-3)
Story (ABC-4)

...then this JQL

issue in portfolioChildIssuesOf("ABC-1")

... would return ABC-2 and ABC-3.

 

With third party products you might be able to construct a more complex JQL that would also return the child issues under an Epic. I have not tried to work out the details.
