Open the Structure Selector menu and select Create New Structure.
Step 2: Add Two
...
Flex items
Open the +Add menu and select Folder Flex item. Add two foldersFlex items, named:
"Agile Hierarchy"
"Issues without Epics"
...
Step 3: Insert Epics
Select the Agile Hierarchy folderFlex item, so that its row is highlighted, and add a JQL Query Insert Generator:
Go to +Add | Insert | JQL Query
Enter the following JQL query:
issuetype = Epic
To limit the epics to specific projects or other variables, add additional specifications (Example:
AND project = "My Epics"
)
Change the Place the generators on selection to Level below - this will add the epics under the Agile Hierarchy
...
Flex item
Click Create
All your epics should now be placed beneath the Agile Hierarchy folderFlex item.
...
Tip |
---|
If the epics did not appear beneath the Agile Hierarchy |
...
Flex item, your generator was probably placed at the top of the structure, instead of beneath the |
...
Flex item. Select the "Insert issues: issuetype = Epic" row and drag it to beneath the Agile Hierarchy |
...
Flex item (see the picture above). |
Step 4: Insert Issues and Sub-tasks
...
Next, we need to make sure we don't lose track of any issues that aren't linked to epics yet. That's what our second folder Flex item is for:
Select the "Issues without Epics"
...
Flex item
Go to: +Add | Insert | JQL Query
Enter the following JQL query:
issuetype != Epic AND issuetype in standardIssueTypes() AND "Epic Link" is empty
If you narrowed your query to specific projects, etc. for your epics, do the same here
Change the Place the generators on selection to Level below - this will add our issues under the
...
Flex item
Click Create
Any issues that are not assigned to epics should now appear beneath the second folderFlex item.
...
Tip |
---|
If no issues appear under the Issues without Epics folderFlex item, make sure the Insert Generator is located in the right location - if not, drag the generator to beneath the Issues without Epics folderFlex item (see the picture above). |
Step 6: Assign Issues to Epics / Reassign Issues
Now that you have all your issues organized and in one place, you can assign issues from the second folder Flex item to epics, or even reassign issues that already have epics.
...
To assign issues in the second folder Flex item to an epic:
Drag the issues to the epic you want to assigned them to.
While dragging, hold down the ctrl key - this copies the issue to the new location in the structure. Once the issue is copied to the new location, it should disappear from beneath the second
folderFlex item (because now it's assigned to an epic).

Don't worry: copying an item in Structure does not make a copy in Jira. |
