Hi Fred, thanks for the explanation. I think we'll have a basic project hierarchy in 3.0 and then build on top of it. There's no ETA right now, unfortunately. Please check back in a couple of months.

Kind regards,
Igor

Hi Igor,

Igor, thanks for your response. All we are looking for is the ability to run aggregate reports/filters based on the project hierarchy, so we can manage projects and sub-projects as dependencies. Basically, for a given project release, we want to know what progress we are making for this project (i.e. burn down chart) and should include sub-projects automatically (by factoring in their individual sub-project burn downs).
Is there a V3.0 target date that you can share? At least a ballpark - Q1 or Q2 of this year? or longer?

Thanks,
Fred

Hi Fred,

Thanks for your request. Yes, it's been a long time, but Structure 3.0 has been our main focus since this Summer. The next big release will be Structure 3.0 and it will allow organize a hierarchy out of projects or other JIRA's "items". ETA is not available yet.

Could you please elaborate, what do you mean exactly when you safe "supporting the project hierarchies natively"? The expectation for "native support" can vary widely. If you mean that the projects can be parts of the structures without creating "fake" issues to represent them -- yes, that will be possible. But if you expect that, for example, a sub-project would inherit some project settings from a parent project, that's currently beyond our scope.

Kind regards,
Igor

So, any news for supporting Projects and subprojects? It's been more than a year.
Do yo have a new version of Structure supporting the project hierarchies natively?

Thanks,
Fred

Baci, thanks for your questions - I've edited the title to be more like an idea.

Currently, a structure may contain only issues. Often our customers use issues to represent all kinds of items - projects included. (So you'd have a separate issue type called "Project".) That's a bit confusing of course, but as a bonus you get workflow, custom fields, etc for a project from JIRA.

In the future versions, we plan to support hierarchies made of the JIRA projects and other JIRA "things" natively, without additional issues.

Igor
