Issue/Introduction

Adding the field "parent" or "has parent" does not include anything on User Stories although a Parent exists. This is an issue.

Environment

Release : SAAS

Cause

This behavior is shown in Team boards when the artifact's parent field  is attached to a feature instead of a user-story 

Example: US33

 

 

Resolution

In the UI we often show the Feature as the parent in some grids etc, but technically from an object model point of view, only Stories are parents of Stories, not features.

The "Has a parent" field is therefore displayed with a value on the team board only when a user story is attached as a parent.
