Linked issues hierarchy help

[zane.baranovska]

Hi @pankajmehta,

There are two solutions to represent the relation between issues. The best option depends on the data.

1. You can build a custom Issue hierarchy if the child issue has only one parent.
   In your case,

   • each Test is linked only to one Story (Story is a parent to a Test), but Story may have several Tests.
   • and each Story is linked only to one Requirement (Requirement is a parent to a Story), but Requirement may have several Stories.

   There are more details and examples on how to define a new hierarchy in the Issue dimension:
   Additional Issue hierarchies.

2. You can import issue links as separate dimensions. This is a more robust solution and will also work for many-to-many relations between Test and Story (Test is linked to several Stories and Story is linked to several Tests).
   In this case, you might want to import 2 issue link dimensions from the Story perspective.

   • “Linked Requirement” that would show a relation between Story and Requirement
   • “Linked Test” that would show a relation between Story and Test

   There are more details and examples on how to import issue links as separate dimensions: Import issue links.

Hi, I am trying to create a custom linked hierarchy based on the issue type linked across projects. I have a REQ project with issue type Requirements and a development project with issue type Story and Test The links are as follows Requirements --> Story --> Test Requirement are linked to Story with outward_link - satisfies and inward_link is satisfied by Story is linked to the Test with outward_link tests and inward_link is tested by I tried using the following advanced settings to create …
