User Problem

Users cannot include the 'parent epic' information in feature reports exported from Jira Align. This limitation significantly impacts their ability to perform comprehensive capitalization reporting and other strategic analyses. This critical data is necessary for users to understand the complete hierarchy and relationships between features and epics, leading to inefficiencies and potential inaccuracies in reporting and decision-making processes.

Suggested Solutions

1. Enhanced Export Functionality: Develop and integrate enhanced export functionality within Jira Align that allows for the inclusion of full hierarchical data (features, epics, and capabilities) in the exported reports. This solution would ensure that users can access comprehensive data sets required for detailed reporting and analysis.
2. Customizable Report Generation Tool: Introduce a customizable report generation tool that allows users to select specific data fields, including hierarchical relationships, for inclusion in reports. This tool would feature a user-friendly interface with options for field selection and a report layout preview, enabling users to tailor reports to their exact needs without manual data workarounds.

Current Workarounds

Use Enterprise Insights or API scripting instead.
