How can I make a Story as a parent of a Bug?

[Dvir Malka]

Hi all,

We are working with epics as the feature and with story as the development unite.

When our QA team is creating a bug, we link the bug to a relevant story with 'Relates to' relation type.

I was wondering, if in any way I can make bug as the child of a story? same logic that story has epic links.

Thanks in advance!

So what I do is simply use the links “related to “. However if you wanted a parent child relationship then you would have to create a Bug issue type that was of type sub-task.

Hey @Jack Brickey ,

Thanks for your comment!

I think really the best way is to use the link, maybe creating a new relation type called 'bug of', or some other name.

Do you know any query that will be able to provide me with all bugs and their related stories? So I will be able to know how many open bug I have per story?

If you do create a unique link type then you can use the following JQL function.

issueLinkType = "bug of"
