JIRA Structure: SAFe Question: Show Portfolio-Epic based on story in a column

[Michael F.]

I have mapped the relationships between my projects in a structure. This works great via automation, but means that a developer always has to expand Story >> Feature >> Epic to get an overview.

I would therefore use a formula to show which portfolio epic is relevant to the story in a separate column. This means that I am currently failing at building a formula that determines the associated feature from the story and, based on this, the associated epic.

I have already identified the feature, filtered it to the correct connection and reported it as a result. However, now I no longer know whether I can call another issue function within an issuefunction().

This is the code

WITH _format(issue) = """[${issue.key}|${issue.url}]""" : issuelinks .FILTER($.type = 'ART TEAM Link' AND $.destination = this) .MAP(_format($.source))

With the "[${issue.key}" determined, I would now have to call up the issue links again and go through the filter again. Unfortunately I fail at it. Can somebody help me with it? Thank you Micha

Hello @Michael F_ 

If your goal to only have Stories in your structure - no Epics and Features - and to be able to see both its parent Epic and the Epic's linked Feature, then it's not possible. The issueLinks Formula function can extract data from linked issues, but only if these issues are linked directly to an issue in a structure. If you have Stories in the structure, the Formula can extract values of Epics; if you have Epics in the structure, then the Formula can extract the values of Features. So to be able to see both connections to Epics and Features, you would need to at least add Epics to the structure as well. 

But if you have all issues - Stories under Epics under Features - you can show both parents of each Story with a formula like this:
concat("Epic: ", parent{summary}, " Feature: ", parent#level=-2{summary})

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance here or have other questions about Structure, please reach out to us directly at our support portal and we'll get back with you shortly.
