Hello,
I got a theme named Discovery to map end-to-end journey/market opportunities included in the project: One-to-one FX and the initiative that is related to this theme is the epic Create new corporate fields in which parent theme is New Onboarding also included in the project Digital Compliance.
I got the "plans" feature and I am centralizing all projects in one timeline, I would like to have the same epic Create new corporate fields reflected in both projects (One-to-one FX and Digital Compliance) reflected under both themes. How should I proceed?
Thanks.
Hi @Suelen Gutierris and welcome to the Community!
If you create a view in your plan where you group work by project, then you will see probably see the epic represented twice in your plan, for each project it has (child) work items in.
A work item (not matter at what level of the hierarchy) can only have one parent, though. So you won't be able to represent the relationship between an epic and items higher up in the hierarchy in a parent-child tree in plans. Using work item links, you can indicate a relationship or you could model your themes as custom fields rather than work items to overcome the 1 parent to multiple children limitation as well.
Hope this helps!
Hello Walter,
Thank you for your prompt answer.
The first attempt was adding up "Linked items" as customer field, but it has not been possible.

Second attempt: creating a customer field named "Product Initiatives" and linking the other themeafter that, inclusion of the new custom field in the plan setting of the timeline
Unfortunately, it's not being demonstrated

Ok, @Suelen Gutierris,
From your last screenshot, it seems like you are trying to display items below an epic. That is only going to work by linking the work items as children to that epic. To do that, you basically set the epic as the parent of your child item(s).
Unfortunately - going back to the initial request - a work item can only have 1 parent. So linking 2 epics as parent to the same child work item is not possible.
What I was hinting at when I suggested using a custom field, I did not mean to put a reference to other work items in there. I really was referring to a list of options in e.g. a select list or a labels type custom field.
