Subtask percentage completed on parent issues

tbundy March 25, 2025

Is there a way to display either on a Filter or on a Dashboard the "subtasks - percentage completed" on parent issues? 

I want this statistic to show up on reports in order to see who is compliant on our feature launches i.e. If the status is set to "Launched" but subtask completion percentage is not 100%

Hi @tbundy,

to the best of my knowledge, this isn't available as a column in filters or dashboards. If you're willing to go down to the level of REST APIs, you can look at an issue's subtasks field, which contains the individual sub-tasks along with their status. You could probably also use Jira Automation to calculate the value and write it into a custom field.

Otherwise, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, you'll find apps that can help expose the sub-task progress in views and reports. I'll provide more information below.

Hope this helps,

Best,

Hannes

... and just to expand on the last point, this is how this would look in the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira:

For context, JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also comes with a long list of so-called smart columns that aren’t natively available, including the sub-task progress.

As you can see above, you can easily view and sort by the sub-task progress, and also use it across JXL's advanced features, such as support for (configurable) issue hierarchiesissue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know!

HI @tbundy 

As you are on an enterprise plan, you could create a filter and a plan.

Use this filter as source for the plan and in the plan you can view progres.

@Marc - Devoteam How do I view progress in the plan? 

I created a basic Filter with the Status = Launched. Now I want to see the subtask progress on each so I can filter down to those that aren't 100%.

Hi @tbundy 

What is the current view of you plan?

tbundy April 9, 2025

@Marc - Devoteam not sure what you mean? I've never used Plans before. 

All I did to create a plan was use a basic Filter. I used the parent ticket and the status of launched. All it shows is the same thing as the filter. 

I don't see a way to incorporate the subtask progress in the plan either.

Hi @tbundy 

Create a filter or set a project or board as the source of you plan, that also includes the sub-tasks.

The in the plan filter on status.
