wbs Gantt - i cannot list the stories under Epic

[Onur]

I would like to list the stories under Epic name in WBS Gantt using the filter gantt issue , how can i do it ? 

Example 

Epic A

   Story 1 

   Story 2

Epic B 

   Story 3

   Story 4 

when i write  a filter using the epics names i can only see the belonging stories but not the epic names. 

Thanks

Hello @Onur 

Alessandro from Ricksoft here. Thank you very much for using our app and sharing your feedback.

About the Filter displaying Epics - it doesn't makes much of a sense for a Jira filter to display an epic and its children, that is why I understand it is a bit complicated to build a filter comprising that.

For that, in WBS Gantt-Chart you can still use the Quick Filters, which is a feature that will help you to filter your issues in the Gantt chart  after it was loaded. In other words, the usage of the quick filters you made on your workaround is pretty much what we would recommend to do.

As for the Start and End dates, you can customize which fields you would like to use on your Gantt chart in the Global Issue Settings (Select Jira settings → Apps from the cog icon on the top-right corner, then go to Issues setting in the WBS Gantt-Chart Section).

To find out more about how to change the fields used by WBS Gantt-Chart, please take a look at our documentation: https://docs.ricksoft-inc.com/wbs-gantt-chart-for-jira-cloud/global-issue-settings#GlobalIssuesettings-Howtochangetheganttdatafield

Hope this helps to address your questions. Please do let us know if there is anything else we can do to help you taking the most advantage of our app!

All the best,

In the filter you can see that i select the epic links , belonging story tickets listed. 

I would like to list stories under epic where you can expand. Here in the below picture you can see all Story tickets listed as one list without Epic parent category . 

project = projectname AND "Epic Link" = vrt-353 OR "Epic Link" = vrt-366

-Work around 

The work around i found , instead of creating the gantt based on filter , i created basedo on project and under gantt configuration i add quick filter with Epics then  i go to Filter and enable the filter then i can see the epics and belonging stories as i wanted. 

There are also more problems with WBS Gantt Application 

• Start Finish date do not get updated from ticket , WBS Gantt and Ticket dates work seperately . There is no data exchange for those dates between WBS Gantt and Ticket
• WBS Gantt does not get Epic names from the tickets. 

It is sad to see it is so much bug in the application but still this is the best gantt tool i could find for Atlas Jira. 

Thanks for you help

Hi @Onur 

your query

project = projectname AND "Epic Link" = vrt-353 OR "Epic Link" = vrt-366

will only return the stories of epics because the result must match all conditions. Epics don't contain epics inks, only their children do.

if you want just the epics and their children, assuming the epics are in the sam project, try

project = projectname and (issuetype = Epic OR "Epic Link" is not empty)

Re Dates, use the Gantt configuration menu to align dates used with your issue dates. WBSGantt uses its own internal date field by default to avoid unwanted side effects on other functionality.

 

Try not to trash talk the apps.

Issue 1: List specific epic and belonging tasks 

Your query 

project = projectname and (issuetype = Epic OR "Epic Link" is not empty)

Your query returns to

all epics in the project ,

 what i want : 

 pick specific epics and print them epic name and belonging tasks under them. 

Issue2: no sysnc jira ticket and WBS gantt dates 

 " Dates, use the Gantt configuration menu to align dates used with your issue dates. WBSGantt uses its own internal date field by default to avoid unwanted side effects on other functionality. " Any idea how i can solve this sync issue ?

Thanks a lot for your help
