ALM Structure: Merge child values into single field, BUT only select children of certain type

[Glenn Quirynen]

Hi,

I'm aware that with VALUES#children, we can merge the values of all children of a parent into 1 field.
For example "VALUES#children{Key}", show all issue keys of the children into 1 field at the parent

I would like to extend this base formula, and show at the parent only the issue keys of, for example issues of type "Bug".  There can be more children linked of different types, even at multiple levels, but I only want to get the key's merged of the bugs at the parent.

Is this possible?

Thanks,

Hello @Glenn Quirynen 

Sure thing, you can extend the formula's condition to only consider bugs like this:
VALUES#children{if issuetype = "Bug": key}

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, please reach out to us directly at our support portal.

Hi Stepan,

thanks for the quick reply.  I have created an account on the support portal, and will be asking new questions over there.

This solves my problem partially.
Is it also possible to get the children of lower levels concatenated, kind of recursive?
So not only the direct children of a parent, concatenated at the parent level, but also the children of the children of the parent concatenated at the parent level.

Thanks,

Sure, you can do it with a different modifier: VALUES#strict{if issuetype = "Bug": key}
