Is there a way to only bring a parent ticket and specific child tickets into a Sprint?

Hi,

Is there a way to bring a parent ticket and only specific child tickets into a Sprint? I'd like to declutter the Sprint board. 

All suggestions welcome, thank you.

Hi @Patricia Izquierdo  - did you ever get this solved? If so, what did you do? 

[Patricia Izquierdo]

No, I didn't find a good solution for this. Pls lmk if you have one!

If you are not bringing all of the child tickets to the sprint then you need to attach them to a different parent or convert them to another issue type such as Story or Task.

I think it depends on the level of the ticket you're mentioning.

If the level is -1, it can't be assigned to a sprint.

You can check levels of the issues on the type hierarchy configuration: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-the-issue-type-hierarchy/

For example, Epics are level 1 and Stories are level 0 by default. So you can have different Stories (children) assigned to separated sprints below the same Epic (parent).
