Sub-Task Reporting

[Kelly Hawke]

Is there a graphical way to report on the number of sub-tasks associated with parent tickets.

For example

• ABC-123 (3 sub-tasks) and when you click on '3' it takes you to the 3 sub-tasks?
• ABC-456 (5 sub-tasks)
• ABC-768 (3 sub-tasks)

Workaround idea: you add two columns "Key" and "Sub-tasks" to your column configuration and create a saved filter.

Then:

1. although you don't see the count, but you will the list of sub-tasks in the second column.

2. if you click to the key of the parent, it will open the details of the parent which also includes the list of the subtasks.

It's pretty close to what you wanted and it costs only a few clicks.

Hi @Kelly Hawke

Out of the box I don't believe there are any gadgets that could do it. You will have to look into 3rd party apps.

One option is to you use eazybi reporting. It gives the count and you can drill into the tickets: https://community.eazybi.com/t/measure-to-count-number-of-subtasks-of-specific-issue-type-per-parent-issue/5255

Structure from alm also provides you with hierarchies between parent and subtasks.

Hi @Kelly Hawke

we're considering to add this as a special field to JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing (and in many cases, inline-editing) all your Jira fields, plus a number of "special fields" that aren't available natively (such as, for example, "Time in status" or "Number of sprints").

You can then sort and filter by these fields like with any other fields, and also export them e.g. to Excel for further processing or reporting.

This is how JXL looks in action:

Do you believe that this could solve your problem?

Best,

Hannes
