Reminds me of the now infamous: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JSWCLOUD-9167
Fundamentally, Jira has made some what I'll charitably describe as "odd" architectural decisions:
They designed the ability to split Epics into Stories and allow summing of said Stories' metrics in the Epic, they designed the ability to split Stories into sub-tasks and allow summing of said Sub-tasks metrics in the Story, which would rationally imply a 3 tier hierarchy system.... but no.
They provide no pass-through ability to pull through the levels up to the parent level . There's a complete disconnect between the 2 spheres.... unless you're willing to buy expensive add-on products which only fill in some gaps. That's BAD design: you give rational, intuitive sub-divisions for people to use, and invest their time and data in, but then provide no ability to cross-reference and collate the data. What kind of rational project management paradigm is that!?
Hello. This software is good. Very good even. However, I have to agree that lacking this feature really makes planning a mind boggle.
It is highly important that we can create and view sub-tasks of stories/tasks in the backlog view, separately from the parent issues themselves, in order to set them into their own sprints. Some user stories require a few tasks that all together take more than a one or two week sprint. What is the verdict on this feature? Are you looking into making this possible?
