Custom Charts for Jira (DC)

Using Parent Data for Work Items

Selecting Parent as the value for chart by or group by segments adds Parent Field options to their respective option tabs. Charts that use Parent data have this setting enabled by default. Toggle Enhanced parent calculation and hierarchy filtering to turn this feature on or off.
