Show all children (including grand-children) of a parent

Hello,

Assuming a work package structure like that:

├─ Parent 1
│  ├─ Child 1.1
│  │  ├─ Grand-Child 1.1.1
│  │  └─ Grand-Child 1.1.2
│  └─ Child 1.2
├─ Parent 2
│  ├─ Child 2.1
│  └─ Child 2.2
├─ Parent 3
│  ├─ Child 3.1
│  └─ Child 3.2
└─ ...

Is there a possibility to create a filter that includes the Children and Grand-Children (and maybe another layer) of Parent 1?

I'm nearly sure someone asked that question already. But I don't seem to find the right search terms for the answer.

With kind regards

Christian

Hello Christian,

that is unfortunately not yet possible with the filter options given. There is a parent filter which allows you to select a parent work package. All child work packages of that parent will be displayed in your filtered list. However, this spans just 1 hierarchy level.

An example with the structure you posted:

Filter
parent = Parent 1

Output list:

Parent 1
- Child 1.1
- Child 1.2

Grand-children won't be visible with this filter. You can add as many work packages as you want to the parent filter though.

In this case, a filter by ancestor instead of parent would be perfect. There is already a feature request for this in place:

Please do not hesitate to add a vote via your comment there.
Best,
