Hi all,
I imported some issue links as available in the documentation, and it works, but I’m trying to move a little step further because I need to filter issues on an attribute of the linked issue.
Right now I have “accounting” as a dimension, it’s an imported issue link, I need to filter issues on a “track type” attribute I have on the linked issue so that I can have all and only the issues with a linked issue having a certain track type. How can I manage to get it?
The data tree I should obtain should be the following:
- Link with a certain “track type”
---- All Epics with the link
---------- All Issues within the epics
thanks.
Hi @Mauro_Bennici,
The inheritance of fields is only possible through hierarchies. Only single-select custom fields could be inherited through hierarchy.
So, you need to build a custom hierarchy within the Issues dimension where “Accounting” is a parent of Epic.
You might read more about building additional hierarchies within the Issue dimension here - Additional Issue hierarchies.
There are a few details to note - each Epic can only have one “Accounting” as a parent.
The "Accounting" issue type can only be a parent of Epic and should never appear as a child of any Epic.
Once you have built that, you might refer to the “Inherited field dimension” functionality to cascade the “track type” value to child issues.
Please read more about inherited field dimension here - Inherited field dimension.
The drawback of this approach is that the “track type” changes made to “Accounting” are only cascaded down to child issues during their import process. If there are no changes made to the child issue, they might still hold the outdated values of “Accounting track type”.
If you apply changes to “track type” often, you might have to perform full data re-import on regular basis to ensure data consistency.
Please read more about full data re-import here - Re-import all data.
