Creating a filter or table

[Gaston Motola]

I have Epic A and then I have Epic B that lives inside Epic A (they link to each other).

Epic A has two date fields that I want to show on the filter/table/dashboard.

What I want to do is to have a dashboard that shows the Summary (name) of Epic B and that it also shows the two date fields from the parent Epic A. 

I think I managed to do it once a long time ago, I can't find it, I really appreciate the help on this. Thanks.

Hi @Gaston Motola

An issue link does not work the same as the Parent/Child relationship in Jira. The existence of an issue link (of any type) does not make it behave as if it lives inside the other. This is likely why you are using issue links as Jira will not let you define an Epic as a child to another Epic as it does not follow the issue hierarchy.

If this is a must have requirement, I would create custom date fields and update them using automation between Epic A and Epic B using the Linked Issues branch type.

Thanks for the reply. Any pointers on how can I do that last part? I can request the custom date fields on Epic B, but how would I go about automating the "copy dates from Epic A into Epic B"? They need to be in synch at all times. Any pointers on what should I be looking for this? Thanks.
