Hi @Kaitlin_Martin,

Thanks for posting your question!

To create a report that shows the priority of features alongside story progress, you’ll need to set up a custom issue link field dimension that pulls the priority from the parent feature. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Configure Advanced Settings

Add the following configuration to your advanced settings:

[[jira.issue_link_field_dimensions]]
name = "Feature Priority"
source_dimension = "Priority"
issue_key_column = "jpoh_parent_3"
group = "Linked issue dimensions"

Note: jpoh_parent_3 means that Feature is 3 levels from “Story”. If your hierarchy has more levels, adjust this accordingly. My colleague Gerda is explaining these levels in this community post: Issue link field dimensions don't include parent issue

Step 2: Import the New Dimension

Go to Source Data → Edit

  1. Navigate to the Additional options tab

  2. Under Issue link field dimensions, select “Feature Priority”

  1. Run import

Step 3: Create Your Report

Now you can create a report by:

  • Using the Issue dimension in Rows. Select the “Feature” level member

  • Adding your newly imported “Feature Priority” dimension in Pages

This approach allows you to filter or display by the priority of the Feature regardless of the priorities assigned to individual stories.

For displaying progress as a percentage, you could use a stacked bar chart with the percentage option enabled, similar to the “Version progress %” sample report.

See Version progress % documentation
