Can I have Initiative link or Theme link in Story field?

[Juhyun Kim]

I have below hierarchy structure;

Theme

-- Initiative

---- Epic

-------Story

In Story ticket, I can see Epic link so that I have better understanding what this ticket is for.

I also want to print Initiative or Theme link in Story ticket. 

I was googling how to do it, but it seems it is not provided feature. 

Is there any way I could do it?

Hi @Juhyun Kim Using Linked Issue field you can link Story with Initiative or Theme OR you can create Single Issue picker custom field for linking Story with Initiative or Theme. 

Initiative or Theme are higher in hierarchy configuration, that's why you can't link Story with these. 

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply. 
I get it. Use linked issue and manually link the higher issues. 
I wish I could get it automatically. 
parent link and epic link do that. 

I just wanted that developers could map the idea where actually this ticket belongs. They get the Epic field automatically and that helps a lot. What if they can get initiative or theme also. we also use roadmap, but when we concentrate one ticket specifically, I’d rather just open the ticket in separate window.

@Juhyun Kim  For Story, Epic Link is available and for Epic, Parent Link is available. 

In Roadmap, Story/Bug/Task are at the same level below Epic. In Roadmap, Story will be displayed under Initiative issue type. 

Unfortunately, it's not possible to add Parent Link for Story. 

If you still want to add Initiative or Theme in Story issue, you can create an Automation rule, fetch Epic Issue of a Story and from Epic issue get Parent Issue, and then update that Parent issue in Story Linked issue field.

Hope it works for you!

Wow. Automation seems to be a good idea. I’ll Google how to fetch the upper hierarchy, but it would be great if I could get a glimpse. 

thank you.
