Get components within a release

[Patrick Lind]

Our application we are tracking in Jira has many parts. Not each part will be affected for a release.

So far for each part we created a component in Jira, an link these to the story, which in turns is linked to a release.

We would now like to get a list of all components that are affected by a given release. 

Is this possible?

Hi, this can be done by creating a filter that filters all the stories with component field not empty which are linked to a specific release. Once you have that filter in place you can visualize the list of component in a dashboard.

A better way to visualize the component list for each release is also to create a structure board (you need to have the Structure App) for all the releases with the linked stories and group the stories by component.

Thanks, with the dashboard I get almost the overview I need.

I've looked for the structure app, but can't find it, do you have the full name of the app?

Hi @Patrick Lind

welcome to the community!

If you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this would be easy to do using the app that my team and I are working on: JXL for Jira.

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.

With these, you can build a view like e.g. this in just a couple of clicks:

This is really just one of a virtually endless number of possible views and reports; you can also view and group by any other issue fields, configure different sum-up styles, etc. etc.

Any questions just let me know,

Best,

Hannes

Thanks, it is a great app, but we only need a simple list for now. Your app is is a little overkill for this.
