As a Project Admin, I should be able to decide if Epic/Story and Issue/Sub-task relations should be considered for requirements hierarchy.

    Description

      Description
      Previously, team-managed projects did not support epic/story relationships nor task/subtask. Therefore, these options were missing, because hierarchy was only possible if we used the link type configured.

      User friction
      Project admins currently have no option to enable/disable Epic/Story and Issue/Sub-task relationships when generating the requirements hierarchy.

      Steps to reproduce (right now):
      1. Create a team-managed project
      2. Open Space Settings
      3. Go to Xray Settings
      4. Go to Test Coverage

      Actual Result:
      These options are not present in the Test Coverage Settings. The project admin has no option to decide to disable it. 

      IMPACT

      What would improve if solved:
      Project admins can configure projects to allow Xray to consider the “implicit” dependencies that Jira establishes between Epics and children or Work items and their sub-tasks.

      Impact on stakeholders:
      Project admins gain more flexibility and control over the behavior of the hierarchy of coverable work items.

      Current workaround:
      Project admins continue to rely on custom issue linking instead of using the Parent field

      CONTEXT & EXAMPLES:

      Concrete example:
      A project admin may prefer to build requirements from issue links instead of Jira's parent-child structure.

      Workaround risk:

      • Requires effort to maintain consistent linking between issue types
      • The hierarchy may be duplicated when using the Parent-child relationship and issue linking
