Novice trying to build a filter...need help :/

[Tracie Harris]

I am trying to build a filter, and I've searched all day for an answer, and not found anything that addresses what I need.

When I open the Issue Navigator, and open the issues, here is an example of what it shows for first few columns in the first entry:

T = ?

Key = HSM-1129

Summary = HSM-369 / Deviation from Style Guide

Second entry:

T = ?

Key = HSM-1128

Summary = HSM-369 / Requirement does not match the required design

And so on.

The first 7 characters of the SUMMARY are what I need to sort by (we call these our "stories," but I have three ranges to include:

HSM-231 through HSM-262

HSM-299 through HSM-325

HSM-350 through HSM-370

Within those ranges, I need to provide ALL of the "bugs." Bugs are what my company calls the "key" items above: HSM-1129 and HSM-1128...and so on.

All of this is within one project. Is there a way to filter for those ranges and then show all the "bugs" associated with the "stories" in those ranges?

Thank you for your help.

Do you have different issue types for bug and story ? If yes then you can filter also by issue type so only bugs are shown. Regarding the sorting I think that sort by summary will produce what you expect due to the naming contract you have.

I can try to find an answer to this.

This makes sense.

Thank you.
