Extend Generators

Extend generators allow you to add issues to a structure based on Issue Links, Epic Links and Sub-task relationships.

Extend generators are often used in conjunction with an Insert generator. In the example above, we used the Agile Board Insert to add our epics, followed by the Stories Under Epics Extender to add the stories beneath each epic and, finally, the Linked Issues Extender to add linked issues beneath these stories.

Types of Extenders

The following Insert generators are available:

• Linked Issues Extender — Pulls in issues that are linked to issues already in the structure.
• Sub-tasks Extender — Pulls in sub-tasks to issues already in your structure.
• Stories Under Epics Extender — Pulls in issues belonging to epics already in your structure.
• Child Issues (Advanced Roadmaps) Extender — Pulls in child issues using the Parent Link field from the Advanced Roadmaps for Jira add-on (if installed).
• Pages Extenders — Pulls in child pages or linked pages from Confluence (when the Structure.Pages add-on is installed).

Always Up to Date

Generators run every time you open a structure, so the list of issues added by the Extend generator is always up to date.

Additionally, if issues change as you work with the structure, they will be added, removed, or moved accordingly, based on the rules of your Extend generator.
