Filter query that orders Stories with their Subtasks

Hey 

I´m searching for a filter query, that shows Stories together with their Subtasks and orders them together.

It should be ordered like that:

Story#1
Subtask (Child of Story#1)
Subtask (Child of Story#1)
Subtask (Child of Story#1)

Story#2
Subtask (Child of Story#2)
Subtask (Child of Story#2)

Story#3
Subtask (Child of Story#3)
Subtask (Child of Story#3)

 

Thanks for your help in advance.
Tobias

Hannes Obweger - JXL for Jira

Hi @Tobias Rettensteiner

this is indeed not possible as a filter or JQL search. There are, however, a number of views in Jira that provide a hierarchical view:

  • If you have Jira Software Premium, this is available in Advanced Roadmaps.
  • If you have Jira Work Management, the list view should also do that. Disadvantage is that it only works for (and within) JWM projects.

As an alternative, there's a number of hierarchy-focused apps available in the Marketplace. E.g., my team and I work on an app that I think you might like, JXL for Jira. This is how it looks in action:

subtasks-by-parent-label.gif

For context, JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a number of advanced features, including support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Hi @Tobias Rettensteiner 

You will need Advanced Roadmaps to get this view. This can be also be achieved using a JWM project. 

Another option could be to use a mktplace app. If you are open for the same, you can try out an add-on we have built for the same use case.

Issue Hierarchy Reports 

You can view your issue hierarchies in a tree structure and track the progress at each parent level with sum ups of time estimates or story points. Also the app is very flexible and you can use custom JQL for top level issues and a different JQL for child issues. 

The app is free upto 10 users. Do try it out.

Hi @Tobias Rettensteiner jira doesn't work that way.  At least not that I am aware of.
