As a user I would like to be able to view epic as one axis of the Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget.
To view data for an epic in this gadget the Epic Link field is most appropriate. This is the field that shows the name of the epic to which an issue is assigned. The Epic Name field, which is only available on the epic issue type, will not be added to the gadget since there seems to be no clear use-case for its inclusion and it is likely to add confusion.
Original summary: Epic Name in Two Dimensional Filter Statistics
Original description: It would be great if we can have an option to add the Epic Name as one of the axis in the Two Dimensional Filter Statistics gadget.

[JSWCLOUD-8003] Epic in Two Dimensional Filter Statistics
This Suggestion has now been implemented and has shipped in JIRA Agile 6.7.4
Kind regards,

The Epic Link name is what is wanted. Just as the EpicLinkCustomFieldIndexer.java addIndex() method gets the name of the Epic in the linked issue, that is the name of the Epic to be shown in the gadget.
Thanks for the additional comments so far. At this point it seems there are no use-cases for the epic name field to be used in this gadget.
For those interested in the related story bblackwell mentions, please follow: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/GHS-10424

added a comment - The first example, epic by story statuses, is what my corporation requires as well. I will note that ideally that breakdown would be available by story points and not just # of issues, but I understand that is being tracked elsewhere.

I will note that ideally that breakdown would be available by story points and not just # of issues, but I understand that is being tracked elsewhere. I would like to see epic link used, as that is the data I am trying to display - the number of issues within each epic, for each status, as in your first example
Hello Martin,
I confirm your understanding, actually we were stressing on "Epic Name" to say implicitly the Name of the Epic Link, because in earlier releases it was not possible to display the Name of the Epic in Reports/Gadgets... We were only able to see the actual issue ID.
Thanks,
Pierre
nwheaton1, jlove0413, pierre.elkhoury - it would be the same name for epic name or epic link - both would be the short name of the epic.
The question is more about the expected data returned and therefore the use-case. My assumption is that the epic link data is useful but that epic name is not.
I'm hoping to confirm epic link is what everyone wants or to understand some use-cases for epic name.
Rough examples
Epic link and status as 2 dimensions
| Status | To Do | In Progress | Done |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 3 | 2 | 4 |
| Website | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| Desktop | 3 | 0 | 0 |
This shows the number of issues for each epic in each status
Epic name and status as 2 dimensions:
| Status | To Do | In Progress | Done |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 0 | 1 | 0 |
| Website | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| Desktop | 1 | 0 | 0 |
This shows the number of epics in each status - this can only be 1 or 0 since there is only one epic of each name and it can only be in one status.
Kind regards,
Martin

That's great news!
