    • We collect Jira feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for JIRA Portfolio Server. Using JIRA Portfolio Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      Problem Definition

      The epic view groups all the issue without epic at the bottom regardless of their rank, so from there you have no way of actually ranking them below
      in this case, some of his story without epics are ranked above other with epics and gets scheduled before
      in the story view the ranking should match the scheduling result
      now there is definitely no way to massively re-rank issues at the bottom from either view.

      Suggested Solution

      It would be a sensible improvement suggestion to be able to (with some care) let a user rank all issues without epic at the bottom from the epic view.

      Workaround

      From the agile board (as it lets you group select and drag-drop) to re-rank those issues without epic actually below those with an epic

      Having a JQL with all the stories without epic (and only those) should be an easy one
      then can attribute them to a 'later' or 'triage' or just temporary epic
      then in the portfolio epic view if you drag&drop that epic at the bottom it will re-rank all stories below the other
      other solution would be to add those stories to a release and set it in the far future / after everything else

            Could i recommend a rewording of the summary of this issue from "Ability to On/Off Option To Consider Automatically Stories Without Epic To Be Considered" to "Ability to schedule stories without epics, always after stories with epics" ?

            Thanks for the suggestions Sam, i will definitely try it. I think that even the implementation you have described here is still a 'workaround'. From my point of view, Portfolio just shouldn't schedule any stories that don't have epics before any stories that DO have epics.

            If a story without an epic has a specific, manually assigned release or sprint date - thats different, then obey those requests. But if the release is basically 'later'... don't schedule those stories earlier.

            I think that would be a reasonable business rule.
