如何获取子任务的父问题类型？寻求隐藏特定子任务的免费JQL方案

Got it, let's tackle this Jira issue where subtasks of Stories/User Stories keep showing up even when you hide those parent issue types in your board. ScriptRunner is great but way too pricey for a single line of code—here are some free, practical alternatives:

1. Native Jira Workaround (No Plugins Needed) #

If you want to avoid plugins entirely, you can use a custom field + automation to replicate parent issue type filtering:

• Step 1: Create a custom field
  Go to Jira Settings > Issues > Custom fields, add a new field (e.g., "Parent Issue Type" as a single select or text field). Map it to all issue types that include subtasks.
• Step 2: Set up automation rules
  Navigate to Project Settings > Automation and build two rules:
  1. When a subtask is created, copy the parent issue's type to the subtask's "Parent Issue Type" field.
  2. When a parent issue's type is updated, sync that change to all its existing subtasks' "Parent Issue Type" field.
• Step 3: Filter with JQL
  Now you can use this custom field in your board's filter JQL:

  issuetype not in (Story, "User Story") AND "Parent Issue Type" not in (Story, "User Story")
  

  This excludes both the parent Stories/User Stories and their subtasks.

2. Free JQL Plugins That Add Parent Issue Filtering #

If you'd prefer a plugin-based solution without the cost of ScriptRunner, these free options work well:

• JQL Extensions for Jira (Free Version)
  This plugin adds a parentIssueType() function to JQL, letting you directly reference the parent's issue type. Your filter would look like:

  issuetype not in (Story, "User Story") AND parentIssueType() not in (Story, "User Story")
  

  The free version supports core functions like this, which is exactly what you need.
• Advanced JQL Functions (Free Version)
  Use the subtasksOf() function to exclude subtasks of specific parent issues. Your JQL would be:

  issueFunction not in subtasksOf("issuetype in (Story, 'User Story')")
  

  This filters out any subtask whose parent is a Story or User Story, while keeping other issues intact.

3. Board-Specific Quick Filter Tweak #

If you're using a Scrum or Kanban board, you can add a quick filter using the above JQL snippets. Just go to Board Settings > Quick Filters, click "Add filter", paste your JQL, and name it something like "Hide Story Subtasks". You can toggle this filter on/off as needed.
