In Azure Devops, How to view all child work items for a dependent feature ?
I have a Epic with few features. In one of the feature, I have a user story that has a related link to other features. Is it possible to see all the features. its child user stories, tasks, bugs that...
Take this:
1. Use a Tree of Work Items Query
This lets you view hierarchical relationships like:
Epic → Feature → User Story → Task/Bug
- Set the top-level filter to your Epic.
- Use the “Matches hierarchy” option to include all child levels.
- This will show you all work items directly under the Epic, including Features and their children.
2. Use a Work Items and Direct Links Query
To capture non-hierarchical links (like “Related” links between your Special User Story and other Features):
- Set the top-level filter to your Special User Story.
- Choose “Return selected link types” and select “Related”.
- This will show all Features linked to the Special User Story.
- You can then manually or programmatically query the children of those Features.
Hi Thanks for your reply. I understand your suggestion will give the features linked or "related" to the user story and won't show children of them. Manually is not an option and won't provide a easier view. I could create a separate query for filtering those features alone, but it means I have to make the same binding in two places. And I am looking for a solution in Azure DevOps portal itself.
