Structure Progress by Status Column - Any way to ignore sub-issues?

Hi. I want to use this progress by status by I'd like to ignore sub-issues. So if an Epic is in a certain status it's 100% no matter what the sub-issues are. There's a checkbox for "Ignore parent issue progress" but if there was a checkbox for "Ignore sub/children issue progress" that'd be perfect. There's a "Custom Progress" column but it's not very customizable...

Hello @Don Utley 

Dionathan with ALM Works here, hope you are doing great.

It seems that you are using Structure Cloud, if so, you could try removing the sub-tasks from the Structure, or using Formulas. Here is a sample code, that will show a value in the Epic Level based on its Status:

 

If (Issuetype = "Epic";
If (Status = "To Do", 0,
Status = "In Progress", 50,
Status = "Done", 100))

 

Please let me know if it does help, or if you have any other questions.

Best Regards,
Dionathan

Hi @Don Utley,

I think it is part of the value proposition of Structure to roll up progress across child issues into its parent. But I assume it would be a feasible workaround if you just set up your own progress custom progress field, add it to your Epic and set its value to 100% from a workflow post function or an automation rule once a certain status is reached.

Hope this helps!
