Summary
This article aims to share alternative ways to list the Orphaned Features. As referred to in the official article 'Viewing orphan objects', in the backlog, we can view orphan epics, capabilities, features, and stories. Orphans are grouped by categories according to what is missing for this orphan, for example, no theme or no estimate.
Orphan features: Features with no theme, estimate, epic, release vehicle, or product.
Solution
There are various ways to list the Orphaned Features Here are the three methods to list the Orphaned Features in Jira Align
Jira Align UI
From the UI, we can use the filter to view only the standalone (Orphaned) Features.
Go to Feature Grid (or Program > Features)
Click "Apply Filter"
Select "Standalone Feature (Jira Epic)" and set it to "Yes"
Using the Export Option
Alternatively, you can export the Features and filter the parent object:
Go to Feature Grid
More Actions > Export Features
Filter the "Parent Epic" and "Parent Capability"
Rest API
Via the API, we can get the Features with a "parentId eq null" filter. Example:
