View Epic On Kanban Board - Preview Child Issues In Right Sidebar

[Rach]

Hi There - looking for advice. 

On JIRA traditional workflows (not next gen) I have Epics configured to show on the kanban board (not backlog view). I don't want to see the stories on the board as cards in this view. This should maen I only have a small number of cards where they are all epics on my board. 

I click on a epic card, it opens the right sidebar preview pane for the epic. 

Expected - the child issues are shown in the right sidebar under the description of the epic. 

Actual - the issue links display, but the child issues do not display. I am unable to preview the stories within an epic in the right sidebar. 

Question - How do I get the child issues to display within an epic preview when viewing the preview sidebar window from within the Kanban board mode?

Hi @Rach

In classic view this isn't possible - child issues do not display here. See JSWCLOUD-13769 for details on this suggestion.

They do show up in the new issue view though - to activate this:

• Select your profile icon (bottom-left corner) and choose Settings under the 'Jira' heading
• Scroll down to Jira Labs and turn on the new issue view by swiping the toggle to green

You may find when activating the new view, that clicking on an Epic adds a pop-up box over the board rather than the side-panel. To change this, select options (upper-right, 3-dots button) and choose "Open issues in sidebar"

Awesome - this is a work around for now - thanks @Ste Wright

It is not workaround, new view doesn't allow to open sub tasks under different projects. I don't get it please advise.

Hi @Pavel Nemirovsky

When you say the new view doesn't allow you to open sub-tasks under different projects, what do you mean? What are you trying to view here?
