Summary

Unable to view child issues under an Epic when using Jira Software Roadmaps

Environment

Atlassian Jira Cloud

Cause

After creating a new Kanban board, we need to make sure to enable the Child level issue schedule.

(Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)

Solution

The Child-level issue schedule is not updated in the board settings. This should be enabled by going through Board settings > Roadmap.

(Auto-migrated image: description temporarily unavailable)

The feature is not enabled by default on each project, but it’s easy to turn on (if you have project permissions). Please note that the roadmap uses the fields "Start date" and "Due date" to reflect the timeline bar schedule.

Reference documentation: Learn how to enable child-level planning for kanban teams.

If the child-level scheduling is not visible even after enabling the toggle under board settings, please raise a ticket with us here: Atlassian Support
