List view: Group by hierarchy

You can now view your work hierarchy when grouping work items in the Jira list. This update allows you to maintain the structure of your parent and child work items while organizing your view by specific fields, making it easier to track related tasks within your grouped lists.

To get started with this change:

1. Go to your Jira project list page

2. Select Group by from the toolbar and choose a field to group your work.

3. Select Hierarchy to show the parent and child relationships within each group.

Key changes

• Enabled hierarchy support for grouped lists, allowing you to expand or collapse parent work items within a group.

• Updated the List view behavior to prevent flattening of work items when grouping is active.

• Added a spotlight to guide you through the new grouping and hierarchy options.

Benefits

• Maintain context of how tasks relate to each other even when the list is organized by status, assignee, or other fields.

• Improve visibility of project structure within specialized views.
