[Private preview] Hierarchy view in projects

TL;DR

Hierarchy view is now available in private preview 🥳! View your full issue hierarchy directly in project table views. This gives you complete visibility into complex work breakdowns without losing context or switching between views.

Enable "Show hierarchy" in any project table view to get started, and share your feedback in the comments below.

What is hierarchy view?

show_hierarchy.mp4

Hierarchy view allow you to view the complete nesting of sub-issues within GitHub Projects.

What works in this private preview

The initial release supports:

• Toggle on a table view to "Show hierarchy"
• Expanding/collapsing sub-issues up to 8 levels deep
• Grouping, slicing, and filtering
• Sorting (each level sorts independently)
• Editing field values inline
• Viewing only sub-issues already in the project
• Live updates when sub-issues change

What's coming next

• Adding sub-issues inline
• Ability to add sub-issues not in the project already
• Drag and drop support for reordering and reparenting sub-issues

We want your feedback

We'd love to hear your feedback!

• What works well for you?
• What's confusing or unexpected?
• What features would make hierarchy view more valuable?

I would love to join the private preview! org:melta-team
Please enroll us into the Hierarchy View it would be a game changer for epic-us-task usage!

[Eve-Yesodot]

I would further say that since I entered my position I've tried everything - Workflows and even custom browser extensions and nothing gave me hierarchy, and since we user epic-us-tasks, and manage both PM, design, and dev in github, this is my missing piece for max order and the ability to manage our product in a cross-product way both for me and for other managers.

Your org is now flagged in! Give it a try, and please let us know if you have any feedback.

[Eve-Yesodot]

Thank you for the feature! I love it so much!

Things I would love to have with it:

1. Remember my last view of the heirarchy (what was open) or a setting of a default ' all expanded /all collapsed'. It's a bit hard to open all...
2. Have the heirarchy view in the timeline would be a game changer!

[davesmits]

Would love to get in with nxtsoftnl

[evi-liu]

You're in! Please give it a try and let us know if you have any feedback.

[davesmits]

@evi-liu just been playing with it. And so far love it.

one thing I am doubting is here:

the child items are already archived from the project by the workflow. In the workflow it seems impossible to filter items that have a open parent; so they can be left in the project.

[hdm12345]

Is it known when this feature will be fully enrolled to the public? I'd love to use it, but I am not part of an organization I think, so then I can not access these private preview features right? Thanks!

[evi-liu]

This will be fully enrolled to the public very soon. Stay tuned, and thank you for your patience!

[mjp-andmoney]

Could my org be added in the private preview?

org:andmoneyaps

Thanks in advance.

[mjp-andmoney]

@evi-liu - just a gentle reminder on this when you have a moment.

[ReshefMaati]

Thanks for the feature!

Could you add an option for saving a view to also preserve the current hierarchy expand/collapse state (so it stays open after refresh)?

[Eve-Yesodot]

I second that 🙏🏼

[MakePixelsWork]

We too would like to opt-in for this preview, but if the full version is released in a few days/weeks (very soon, as @evi-liu commented), we can wait. Organization = @autimatisering / org:autimatisering / https://github.com/autimatisering

[mattcanty]

@evi-liu we would love to experiment with this feature. We're just starting out so having it early would be great.

org: control-alt-repeat

Thanks

[juliehom]

This a great feature that I've been waiting for. Some feedback
Feature Request: Ability to automatically show all subtasks without having to expand each one.
Issue: The subtask is listed as both a task and subtask when both the task and subtask is assigned to the sprint
