Statuses and issue hierarchy

Questions & Answers
1

Hi EazyBI Community,
I’m struggling with both statuses and issue hierarchy (and I suspect this might happen with other dimensions as well).

What I want to do is quite simple: filter issues based on their status. However, doing so brings in the statuses of subtasks. Why does this happen? This means we can’t use the status dimension as a filter. We need data from both parent issues and subtasks (we need to collect worklogs from both parent and children).

Hi, @dword

Welcom back to the eazyBI community.

Please consider inheriting the Parent status to the sub-tasks.
You can define that in the advanced settings Advanced settings for custom fields

There is an example in our documentation that describes how to analyze sub-tasks based on parent issue’s status : Issue link field dimensions

Kindly,
Ilze

Hi Ilze,
Thanks for your answer. I need to keep the subtasks status, so solution #1 is not an option.
For option #2 I understand that this might be the solution:

Parent Status
[[jira.issue_link_field_dimensions]]
name = "Parent Status"
source_dimension = "Status"
issue_key_column = "subtask_parent_key"
group = "Linked issue dimensions"

I will try it asap.
