Filter Work Items by the Same Parent

Finding the Right Work Item Shouldn’t Be Difficult

• When linking work items in Jira, you may have to search through a long list of available work items to find the right one.

• This can become especially frustrating when you only want to link work items that belong to the same parent as the current work item.

• Instead of searching through unrelated results, Work Items Filter gives you a simpler way to focus only on relevant work items.

A Simpler Way to Filter Work Items

With Advanced link manager , you can use the “Only show work items that share the same parent” option.

Simply enable the toggle, and the available work items will automatically be filtered based on their parent.

How It Works

🔹 Toggle ON

Only work items that share the same parent as the current work item are displayed.

🔹 Toggle OFF

All available work items are displayed as usual.

This gives you more control over the work items available for linking and helps you find the right work item faster.

Less Searching. More Relevant Results.

• Filtering work items by their parent is especially useful when working with large projects or complex work-item hierarchies.

It helps you:

• Focus on relevant work items

• Reduce unnecessary searching

• Link work items faster

• Work more efficiently with parent-child hierarchies

Conclusion

With the new same-parent filtering option, finding the right work item to link becomes faster and easier. Instead of going through irrelevant results, you can focus directly on work items that belong to the same hierarchy.
