Hi There,
I've recently learned that there is a cool filter criterion in Phab called 'Parent ID'. Unfortunately, my user permissions in Phab don't allow me to see it for the boards I use. Is it possible to enable it for my account? My Phab handle is MShilova_WMF. The Phab projects I use the most are Abstract Wikipedia Team and Growth-Team.
@MShilova (WMF) I don't think yet this is related to user permissions. For task search results, I'm not sure when https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/advanced/ exposes "Parent ID" as a search parameter field, however it can be manually passed as a URL parameter, for example https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/?parentIDs=1,2,3#R
I'm not sure what you expect to see on a workboard after which steps - please provide more info and steps to reproduce something. Thanks!
@AKlapper (WMF)I was told by one of my colleagues that there is a 'Parent ID' filter parameter in the Advanced Filter. I am not sure if you could see it if you follow this link: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/3450/?filter=PQE342yonvbZ . The behavior expectation is that if I know the Phab ID of the parent ticket, I can use the 'Parent ID' filter to filter the board to only see the child tickets. This is especially useful when we are reviewing the status of tickets for the given epic.
@MShilova (WMF) Ah, thanks! In that link you shared to the workboard, after clicking "Custom Filter" in the upper right corner, and then selecting "Custom Filter" from the dropdown, I see a field "Parent IDs" which says "304427".
However, when going to another random workboard and going to the Advanced Filter dialog, I do not see that field exposed.
I'm a bit puzzled as I have no good idea which criteria decides to expose/show that field. Hmm. :-/
Even on that board with the custom filter removed, the Advanced Filter no longer shows parent IDs, but if I open another random board with this filter applied, the field appears in the Custom and Advanced Filter views. So it looks like if it’s already contained in the filter, it appears, otherwise it doesn’t. This makes more sense than board dependency from a programmer POV, but still quite confusing from a user POV.
