Report based on the issue epic value

Questions & Answers
1

I got the following structure:
Epic (contains custom_field value needed)
----bugs

I want a report like this:

(From epic) Num of bugs resolved Num of bugs created
Custom_field value 1 ### ###
Custom_field value 2 ### ###
… … …

Any suggestion is welcome, Thanks!

In this case, try defining and importing new inherited field “Epic custom_field” from the advanced settings as in this example:

The JS code part an vary depending on your “custom_field” type as different type fields could have different JSON structure in Jira.

But this approach would work only for single-select Jira custom fields (one value per field per issue).

Thanks @martins.vanags !
I tried this solution.
The only thing that I am missing is that using this solution - I can’t see the bugs… The bugs are located in different project(s) and using this method only issues from the same project of the epic can be seen.

in my use case - the custom fields are text fields

Thanks

@elyashivg

Make sure the bugs from other projects are imported from the import options page.
The hierarchy won’t show unimported issues.

The approach should work find with single-line text fields.
The JS code would be slightly different (because JSON structure for text fields is different), but it should work with text fields.

Thanks, it worked!
I missed something in the configuration of the epic custom field, now it’s working as expected.
