Users are experiencing validation errors with the Rally Story Map
Rally SAAS
This issue occurs when the Rally workspace has enabled the Required Parent functionality.
Required Parent functionality is enabled:
According to the current configuration, the system allows the creation of a user story only if the ‘Parent’ field is linked to another user story or a portfolio item. If the ‘Parent’ field is left unselected, the system prevents the creation of a user story.
However, it is important to note that this condition does not apply when the user starts using the Story Map app. The app is designed to create user stories based on default settings, rather than workspace-specific customizations.
