Tree View
Canopy displays Jira issues in a tree structure that reflects their parent-child relationships.
Hierarchy Levels
| Level | Issue Type | Parent Detection |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Epic | Root level |
| 2 | Story | parent field or Epic Link |
| 3 | Task | parent field or issue links |
| 4 | Subtask | parent field |
Hierarchy Detection
Parent-child relationships are detected using (in order of priority):
parentfield - Used in Jira Cloud and for all subtasks- Epic Link - Custom field for Server/Data Center (auto-discovered)
- Issue Links - Links with parent-child relationship types
Epic Link Discovery
For Jira Server instances, Canopy automatically discovers the Epic Link custom field by querying the /field endpoint.
