Can I create a JQL filter that shows me the issue progress (%)?

[Augusto Romaniuk]

Recently i tried to make a filter that shows me the issue progress (The % of subtasks done), but I dont know how to add this type of information.

I want this data in my filter: 

This %

Hi @Augusto Romaniuk,

to the best of my knowledge, this isn't available as a field. If you're willing to go down to the level of REST APIs, you can look at an issue's subtasks field, which contains the individual sub-tasks along with their status. You could probably also use Jira Automation to calculate the value and write it into a custom field.

Otherwise, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll find apps that can help expose the sub-task progress in views and reports. I'll provide more information below.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

... and just to expand on the last point, this is how this would look in the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira:

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 so-called smart columns that aren’t natively available, including the sub-task progress.

As you can see above, you can easily view and sort by the sub-task progress, and also use it across JXL's advanced features, such as support for (configurable) issue hierarchies, issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know!

Hi @Augusto Romaniuk, apologies, there's indeed quite a few options in the support portal. This link should take you to the right form. Just make sure to select JXL - Sheets Hierarchy Structure Sum-up Time in status Table in the "Select or type app name below" field. Let me know if this doesn't work!

Hi, Augusto!

Currently it`s not possible to get the percent of issue progress using JQL. However you can take a look at the reporting app we’ve built that has this and many other reports available - Report Hub . Attaching a screenshot with the relevant report for your reference (it also rolls up the numbers like estimates or story points or time spent from child to parent tickets.

Regards,

Hello @Augusto Romaniuk 

No, filters will not show that information natively.

The options for getting that are:

1. Get a third party app that can add that capability.

2. Create a workaround using a custom field to note the current progress, and use the Automation Rules functionality to keep that field up to date.

You can track issue progress by calculating the percentage of completed subtasks using JQL queries and custom fields, but Jira does not provide a built-in way to visualize this directly in filters.

If you need a structured, real-time view of issue progress, you might want to try Smart Hierarchy by TitanApps. It automatically sums up issue completion, including subtasks, and displays it in a nested, intuitive hierarchy.

With Smart Hierarchy, you can:
✅ See progress % at a glance – track completed vs. remaining work across all hierarchy levels.
✅ Sum up key fields like story points, checklist completion, and assignees.
✅ Eliminate manual tracking – no need for complex JQL queries or spreadsheets.

This can be especially useful when working with large projects where tracking multiple subtasks manually becomes time-consuming.

Hi @Augusto Romaniuk 

If you would be interested in a mktplace add-on to view % progress for your issues, take a look at

Issue Hierarchy 

The app also allows you to create a hierarchy based on standard jira structure (Epic -> Story/Task -> Subtask) or even with your issue links. You can view %complete progress at each parent level. It roll ups the time tracking fields, story point or numeric fields at each parent level.
