Parent Issue Summary Field Plugin

The teams I have worked with have been using JIRA’s sub-tasks regularly as they provide great tools for priority handling and progress monitoring. There have only been one drawback using the sub-tasks as users can’t always figure out the parent issue from column views that only display parent issue key as shown here:

By using the parent issue summary field or extended summary field user can show a parent issue summary in the column views. Plugin fields in use:

Show X random issues from filter

This is a simple portlet plugin that displays random issues from selected filter:

Agile Wall Report

Report for viewing issue statuses in the same way as in agile projects (to do/in progress/done). Many agile teams use task walls to represent the current status of the sprint (or project). Tasks (or user stories or issues) are grouped by their status to three columns: Not started, In progress and Done. Tasks are usually also sorted so that top priority issues are on the top and low level issues are on the bottom.

Agile Wall Report plugin tries to mimic this view so that team members can use a same kind of a view in JIRA for a current version that is being developed:

JIRA Confluence Page Portlet

A JIRA Portlet that can display a single Confluence page (just the content, not the app chrome) and an edit link. User can configure Confluence instance, space and page which is displayed in the JIRA’s dashboard portlet.

    I attempted to the download the jar for the agile wall report but encountered a page not found. Could you direct me to a location where I may download the jar.

    Thx much

    thanks,
    Will L.

    Totally agree with Evgeny. This should be a standard Jira feature.. It’s the first thing my people were griping about and it’s a fantastic solution.

    Just waiting on my question about whether I can get it installed successfully in 4.1 !!

  • Dan

    Nice work Tommi, I too think this should be part of the normal Jira feature set.

    Can you confirm whether it will work on the latest Jira version? We are on atlassian hosted 4.1 and I really need to get this working to stop our confusing views.

    Hi Tommi, I recently started working with JIRA and Agile and I have been through the whole JIRA documentation. The administration of a JIRA, TeamCity and Confluence Wiki are part of my hole.

    I am here to ask you if is there anything documented about Agile plugin?

    I would really appreciate if you can send me a link or a document file.

    Cheers

    @Fred: Do you mean the Agile Wall Report plugin? There is some documentation in Atlassian’s plugin page, here.

    Tommi,

    I have ported the Parent Issue Summary Field Plugin plugin to JIRA 4.1. I can send you the source to check in at https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/svn/PRNT or you can add me as a developer to the PRNT project in JIRA Studio and I’ll do it.

    I’m happy either way.

    ~Matt

    @Matt: Thanks! I added you as a developer to PRNT project in JIRA Studio. Please check in your code. Thanks for the contribution!

    Hi Tommi,
    many thanks for your plugin “parent task summary”. It is a small but important extension! One question: Is it possible to sort issues so that the parent task is always followed by the sub-tasks?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    Hi Tommi,

    I found your parent issue summary field plugin while I was trying to find a way to extract the summary text and put it as a prefix to the summary of a newly created subtask. I thought that if I included the parent issue summary field in the sub-task’s screen, I would be able to copy and paste its value using javascript.
    Unfortunately, the screen does not display this field at all. I guess that this field does not behave like any other custom field. Could I be able to do something with it or should I stop considering this solution?

    Thanks,

  • Victor

    How I crete a customfielde to search by project lead??? sorry, because I don’t speak english very well!! I am a brazilian!!

  • sally

    Hello! I was really excited to find that there is a way to display Confluence pages within JIRA – but am looking for a way to embed Confluence page(s) within a JIRA issue (as opposed to the dashboard). I’ve searched the plugins pages and documentation pages but your plugin is the closest thing I’ve found. Any thoughts? Thank you!!!
