I would like to have request and subtask of request on a kanban board

[Rhea Mabruk]

I have been trying to messing around with the fillers but nothing is working, i am currently at showing request and all the subtasks but i want to make it only the subtask of request.

I would appreciate the help

Hi @Rhea Mabruk and welcome,

you have two different options to put in place that.

Option 1 - Use quickfilters https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftwareserver0817/configuring-quick-filters-1072472193.html

Option 2 - Update Kanban board filter in order to not show other issuetypes

Hope this helps,

Fabio

hi, 

thank you, i just wanted to ask if you can tell me the JQL code to make it like that. i am very new to jira and have no idea how to make it like that.

thank you soo much for the help

Hey @Rhea Mabruk ,

try just : issuetype = Sub-Task

If you have different subtask types please use :

issuetype = (SUBTASKTYPE_A,SUBTASKTYPE_B....AND SO ON)

Hope this helps,

Fabio

If i understand correctly, you only want to include sub-tasks of issues which are shown on the board. But, currently sub-tasks are shown regardless of their parent issuetype. 

Providing that you have Scriptrunner installed, you can use the JQL issueFunction that's included with Scriptrunner. 

Try the following as a board filter:

project = PROJECTKEY AND issueFunction in subtasksOf("issueType = Request")

If you have multiple issuetypes on a board and want to include subtasks of both issuetypes, you should be able to use:

project = PROJECTKEY AND issueFunction in subtasksOf("issueType in (issuetype-1, issuetype-2)")

IN case you've got more than two issuetypes on a board and want all their sub-tasks, simply add more issuetypes, using comma between each issuetype.

Just noticed, I'm missing the JQL functionality for returning the regular issuetype. 

You'd need to use some brackets so you're searching search for:

issues from a specific project AND (either sub-tasks of requests OR issues of the issuetype Request)

The query would look like this:

project = PROJECTKEY AND (issueFunction in subtasksOf("issuetype = Request") OR issuetype = Request)

Without the brackets before issueFunction and at the end of request, the query would return sub-tasks with Requests as parent from your specified project, or any request issues regardless of project.

Hi @Rhea Mabruk welcome, and I'm glad to see you're asking for help here.

The JQL given by @Fabio Racobaldo _Herzum_ can be used in addition to the JQL you've already created, since you're already showing request and all the subtasks e.g.:

Your JQL AND issuetype = Sub-Task
