View Bugs on Sprint Tracking Board


When branching off of the basic process, task items display on the sprint board. However bug items (and their child tasks) do not show their parent bug. See Below:

Unparented category

Tasks should show their parent. In fact, if I edit a bug from the board, I can see it on the board. See below:

Parent shown in Task Board

Unfortunately, after refreshing hte page, the item returns to the unparented category.

TL;DR - How can I configure my sprint board to display task parent items rather than only features?

edit: Gear image settings menu


Solution

  • Since the Basic Process does not have a Bug type out of the box, the Board/Sprint views do not support customizing those types at all. Since you make a fork of a basic process, you're missing that configuration option as well.

    To manage bugs as you are describing you would need to switch the project to one of the out of the box Processes that support Bugs as a type or create a fork of one of those processes.
